Things can get really dangerous when things hit the fan, so having the right equipment can help you survive. One essential equipment any prepper should have in his emergency bag is a weapon, specifically a gun.
Having the right gun for certain situations is generally a good idea, but knowing how to upgrade your weaponry and which upgrade to use can further improve your chances of survival.

There are three important parts you need to look at when upgrading a rifle’s performance:
Similar to rifles, shotguns can be used for both self-defense and hunting. However, unlike rifles, these firearms are short-ranged powerhouses capable of blowing away any threat that comes way too close.
The shotgun is already a monster on its own, but it’s even better with a full set of upgrades. Here are a few things you should consider upgrading:
These reliable sidearms may be small, but they are deadly. Having a good pistol as a secondary weapon is ideal in case you can’t use your primary weapon. Additionally, their small size can make them easier to conceal and carry.
To further improve the reliability of your pistol, consider these upgrade options:
As a prepper and responsible gun owner, getting the right upgrades for your self-defense weapon is essential for increasing your chances of survival.
