Bayonet
WeaponsThe current issue Army bayonet, before the Cataclysm anyways. It is thick, heavy, and surprisingly sharp. This bayonet also functions as a wire cutter, and a mediocre saw for cutting through aircraft fuselage. That the handle and tang can be completely disassembled from the blade is surely a fact of great comfort to the soldier, survivalist, and you.

This is a semi-automatic clone built by a domestic manufacturer.

bolt-action anti-materiel rifle
WeaponsServing both anti-materiel and high-priority sniping roles in their service with various militaries, bolt-action rifles, such as this one, were known for their long ranges of engagement, recoil, and armor-defeating ordinance. Essentially a step below light cannonry, as far as shoulder-arms are concerned, this weapon's mix of power and accuracy meet hands to ensure that, before the Cataclysm, one shot was synonymous with one very, very dead target.

bolt-action hunting rifle
WeaponsFeaturing a handsome set of wooden furnishings, a classic design, and a no nonsense .270 caliber chambering, this is a powerful hunting rifle. With a tried and proven pedigree dating back over 60 years, millions of such rugged arms have been made, exported, and used throughout the United States and the world at large. Where hunting is concerned, this is a highly capable and well proven weapon in all respects. Fortunate, given that your prey in these dark days may turn out to be a little bit more feisty than typical White-Tailed deer, moose, and black bears.

Possessing an adjustable buttstock, a detachable magazine-based system, and a quick-swap barrel that can be exchanged to accommodate the firing of .223 Remington or 7.62x39mm Soviet ammunition, the weapon is a commendable backpacker or prepper rifle.
