The Medusa chambers, fires, and extracts 25 different cartridges (actually 117, if you count every one ever made, but only 25 were claimed) in the .380/.38/9mm/.357 ammunition range (just about any handgun round with a bullet diameter between .0355 and .0357 inches). Various rounds can be mixed in the same cylinder loading and fired with no problem.

It depends if you are a soldier on patrol or are defending your home. Since I am not a soldier and my responsibility is home defense then I would go with the USAS-12 shotgun with multiple drums and mags pre-loaded with a variety of shells (from buckshot to slugs and even specialty rounds, including flechettes). For a sidearm I would go with the HK.Custom Combat in .40 s&w with 16 round magazines loaded with black talons or equivalent hollow-point rounds.edit on 6-2-2012 by CosmicCitizen because: (no reason given)

Simple Long bow.

- Kids can't have an accident with it

Also worth considering it this...
Tests on the Welsh long bow (the most powerful of them) have proved astounding. At 100 feet it will punch through 2 inches of mild steel and if it hits a human correctly, it will punch you spine out from your back from shoulder to hind quarters.. At short range (under 6 feet), it has the same effect as a .50 Magnum - if it doesn't hit you and the arrow passes within three or so inches of your head, your head explodes with the pressure wave.
ONly problem with a Welsh long bow is that one is, in effect, bending a small tree. The original Welsh archers had to practice 6 days a week and used to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger.
