Every would-be survivalist should have the ability to protect themselves in a variety of situations, and have the ability to hunt small game and whatever else is in their area, or the area where they will be (expect to be) in case of emergency.

The details..

"Selecting a Survival Battery of Firearms" is an informative guide that helps readers choose the right firearms for their survival needs. The author, Sergeant, emphasizes the importance of having proper knowledge about weapons usage and capability to select suitable firearms. He also explains how societal changes have made it necessary for people to be well-versed in firearm lore.

The book covers various types of shoulder-fired handguns, rifles, shotguns, special revolvers and pistols along with their different barrel actions such as bolt-action or pump action. The author suggests redundancy in owning multiple weapons but not going overboard with too much variety unless one can afford it.

Sergeant recommends specific base line requirements including a rifle for defense/offense; another rifle if fighting rifle is not suitable; shotgun for defense/hunting; .22 Rifle for small game & plinking (informal target practice); handgun(s) - one each specifically designed for field work/defense/concealment respectively. He advises building redundancy into plans by following Special Forces logistical doctrine's PACE concept - Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Extra.

While there are many available choices when it comes to semi-automatic magazine-fed rifles suitable caliber-wise (7.62 NATO etc), selection mostly depends on personal preference rather than any significant difference between them all being well constructed and serviceable.
