Six versatile guns that cover nearly every shooting need, host argues
Most gun owners don't need a safe full of specialized firearms to cover the ground that actually matters. In a video from Line45, the host argues that six guns, each chosen for how it adapts across different jobs, can handle nearly everything a shooter is likely to face.
Snapshot
The Line45 host walks through six firearms picked not for raw specs but for versatility: how each one changes character depending on ammunition, barrel length, or caliber swap. The through-line is that a gun earning its keep across multiple roles beats owning something that goes idle the moment the job shifts.
Key points
- Shotgun flexibility: The host highlights the Mossberg 590S for running mini shells, 2¾-inch, and 3-inch loads through the same action without an adapter, citing redesigned internals that handle the shorter shells.
- Takedown accuracy: The Ruger 10/22 Takedown is praised for staying light, cheap to shoot, and consistent, with testing showing roughly 0.502-inch average groups at 50 yards even after reassembly.
- Modernized lever gun: The Henry Lever Action Supreme in .223 Remington draws attention for ditching the tube magazine for AR mags and posting sub-1-inch groups with match ammo.
- Dual-cartridge rifle: The Marlin 1894 in .357 Magnum is noted for shifting from mild .38 Special practice to serious medium-game power in the same 6.2-pound gun.
- Big-bore pistol: The Glock 20 in 10mm is described as reliable across hot and light loads, with the host citing a sub-3-second Bill Drill from concealment.
Quick take
The appeal here isn't exotic gear, it's the host's case that ammunition choice and caliber-switching can do the work of owning multiple dedicated guns, a practical argument for anyone trying to build a tighter, more useful collection.
