>gunfights won't happen in real life
Not only this, but no one in SHTF or otherwise ought be seeking them out.
Whole point of arming up, getting proficient w/ firearms needs to be : *avoid* gunfights

>Most people wouldn't die from violence
checked, likely not in total WROL / SHTF.
Anyway as said above it's not going to be 'masses of gun battles'
Get proficient with an economical effective "rig" of firearms, rifles first. Probably good to have a pair of go-to rifles, bolt action and semiauto, plus one or two handguns. Whatever chamberings, just be fucking comfortable and proficient with them and have plenty of ammunition

Most people in the incoming global collapse of the debt market are going to die en masse in urban population centers, armed w/ firearms or not. They'll starve or dehydrate, or kill each other off with blunt-sharp instruments, fists, or their own excrement within a few weeks.
