Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.....
I'll go for a blow-pipe and a poison dart frog.
Bugger all to go wrong unless you inhale or the frog dies![]()
On the basis that if the world did suddenly end in catastrophe there would be no opportunity to go shopping for the ideal rifle I would have to just grab one from my collection.
It would be a choice between the BSA Superstar or the HW35. Thinking about it the HW35 would be the one. Since I buttoned the piston and made a new fitted spring guide and top hat it is a stunning performer at 11.5 ft lbs on a standard spring (which had to be shortened slightly) and is so well made it will go on for ever.
If I had the chance to raid the shops I think the new Webley Paradigm thingy might be a good choice if it turns out to be reliable. If you could find one.

Fac Diana 54 in .22 or maybe a nice Titan Mohawk with a multipump valve, .22 or .25.

From my cabinet my HW35K, but if I had the chance I'd choose a HW80 in .22 FAC.

ANY air gun is the scenario: not just one you currently own or have access to.

id have the stock reinforced as well so i could use it like that guy off the last of the mohicans![]()
Particle physics gives me a hadron.
Sliced bread.
The best thing since ripped up bread.
Its for getting through the armoury door at the local private school (Cadet Force), won't need an air gun once I have me grubby mitts on a LSW.
Joking aside & sticking to the OP's rules, don't we all agree to stick to the 1 shot - clean kill policy so 1 shot + 1 backup is plenty for food hunting as that thing is deigned for big game hunting, how many people will a wild boar feed for a day? Plus at 500fpe its got enough poke to obliterate any zombies / mutants that get in the way.
But this is better for mutant bashing (not in the rules tho) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g77sLmw-UcY

There was a guy called Mel Tappen who used to write for Guns and Ammo on the subject. His answer was keep it simple, FWB sport and 10,000 pellets in a coffee can.
HW80 all the way![]()

Ah,
but if you have a generator that will run your Mill & Lathe you could always knock something up - provided you had a selection of BCD bottles and PCP parts on the shelf![]()
