Are you prepared for an End Of The World scenario?
Many people get discouraged when they consider how much room they will need to store a year's supply of food and water for one person. They become even more discouraged when they realize that they will need a lot more than that until they regroup with others, form a commune and establish a farm that will feed all of its members.
The problem, however, becomes more manageable once you realize that all you need is a computer with a database that shows where all the food/water hoarders live. You will also need different calibre guns and lots of ammo. The reason for the different calibre guns is so that when you find ammo, you will have a gun that can make use of it.
I know that you are now thinking about the logistics of storing so much ammo. You might even feel a little discouraged at the fact that you are just substituting storing food and water with storing ammo. But the fact remains that even if you decide to store food and water, you will still need guns and ammo to protect it.
The problem becomes more manageable when you realize that, if you are a good shot, it takes about 12 bullets to take out a family of four (if you take them by surprise) in order to acquire their yearly rations of food and water. You may need a few more bullets to take out your neighbors in order to have a place to store your new found loot. So when you think about it, storing 72 bullets is better than storing a year's supply of food and water for 4 people.
So you see, preparing for an End Of The World scenario is not as daunting as you may have first thought.

Perhaps if you, as opposed to storing guns and ammo, stored blunt battering-worthy weapons, and accrue a posse of friends, you can raid tight quarter buildings, such as homes and apartment complexes, without the expense of searching for bullets. So in other words, guerrilla warfare. Doing so you'd likely find guns and ammo anyhow and could then ward off other militant groups with said ammo. Side: I hadn't thought of that

The problem, however, becomes more manageable once you realize that all you need is a computer with a database that shows where all the food/water hoarders live. No such database exists, to the best of my knowledge; certainly not one we could gain access to. And in any event, post-apocalypse technology will be limited to things that operate without electricity, for the most part, so maintaining and powering a computer after the End of the World would be pretty much impossible. I think you need to take your plan back to the drawing board, as it all hinges on this one ill conceived idea. Also, even if your computer idea worked and was a reality, you just told a whole bunch of people about it, so now you have unwanted competition. Side: I hadn't thought of that

If the scenario involves zombies, I'm more than ready. The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible. Side: I hadn't thought of that
