Guns...
I am reading into this that the question means that arming yourself is an act of self defense etc in an emergency situation. Also that the premise is that you may list whatever is realistically available at your location/area.
Up here hunting is pretty common and shotguns and hunting rifles are pretty commonplace. Also competitive and recreational shooting is pretty common. All told I think estimates are around 700 000-1 000 000 firearms in civilian hands counting legal and illegal weapons of all calibers including collections and museum pieces. The population is below 5 million. Goverment arsenals are thought to hold app. the same number of firearms - mind you decommissioning programs have been in place for decades to limit this number. Our license produced G3s are next on the list...
For both hunting and sport semi auto weapons are restricted to some extent meaning that most makes of semi autos and some calibers are not common.
12 gage shotguns, most bolt action rifles and .22 rifles are somewhat prolific.
I guess that in such a catastrophic event civilian weapons like these would be used.
