Carbine: Armalite AR-180 (older folding stock model) with QD 4x optic
Battle: FN FAL iron sights
LR: Mauser 98 in 7x57 (still holds the record for Elephant kills) with scope
Handgun: Glock 20 10mm
.22 Pistol: High Standard with 6 inch barrel
Shotgun: 20 inch side-by-side 12ga coach gun

I would add primitive wpns also to the list for layering such as a .45 cal Black Powder Rifle and pistol.

Not to hijack, but does anybody have a reasonable amount of experience with a Kriss .45 SMG, yet?

What is the question?

The design looks as if the muzzle wouldn't "drift" during bursts as much. I've since found a couple resources on it, and it looks to be a great tool for CQB.
I'd probably buy a semi-automatic version.

It is very stable during full-auto fire, but is not particularly accurate.

Not very good for CQB, IMHO, unless you don't care about collateral damage.

Have you humped a lot of .45 ammo lately? I think that stuff has gotten heavier over the years!

Of course, at the rate we are going, we probably won't be permitted to keep six weapons by the nanny state, and if we could, very few of the ones we listed will be allowed.

TR - Interesting comment, it got me thinking...
What about your same list but with that comment in mind?
i.e.

1. Carbine: USGI M1 Carbine fixed stock (politically correct) or maybe a lever-action carbine?

I wonder if choices were limited what would be the best, so-far, exempt substitutes.

Carbine: PDA-15 M4 Custom Defense Rifle (Patriot Defense Arms)
Battle: Same as above. (Add second complete rifle for posterity's sake, or just in case)
LR: Ruger Mini-14
Handgun: Taurus 24/7 OSS 9mm (Own it, love it)
.22 Pistol: Browning Buckmark .22
Shotgun: Lack of Experience in the subject... Was considering Mossberg JIC 500...

I just wish I could find a quick conversion kit for 24/7 OSS to make it .22
