TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #128: Backpack Gun Talk with Kirk from Aero
Today we’ve brought back Kirk from Aero Precision to talk a bit about “backpack guns.” What that term means exactly is largely up to the user but we thought we’d try to tackle the discussion from a more modern perspective. What you bring into the field with you is often going to be dictated by what you’re out there for in the first place. My assumption growing up and from reading various survival novels and fiction was that the trusty 22LR was always going to be the gun for the job but today Kirk and I are going to tackle the subject from a more learned, and modern perspective. How does the 22LR backpack gun concept hold up today, and what are some reasons why you might still want to have one in your collection?

TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #128: Backpack Gun Talk with Kirk from Aero
On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we're bringing back on long-time friend of the channel Kirk from Aero Precision to talk a bit about what he's been up to, and what he thinks of common "backpack guns." A backpack gun generally refers to a compact, portable firearm that is small enough to be carried in a backpack - typically a rimfire gun chambered in 22LR. These guns are often designed for ease of transport and quick access, making them popular for self-defense, hiking, or camping in remote areas. The term can describe various types of firearms, including folding rifles, short-barreled shotguns, or handguns that are equipped with braces or stocks. Takedown rifles like the Ruger 10/22 are often nodded to as the go-to weapons for the backpack gun task, but is that true in 2024? Today Kirk and I will discuss that, and a couple of other related topics in this week's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast.
