Mondak, don't overestimate how much shooting you are actually likely to do (and survive).
If you have a small caliber rifle for small/medium game w/ a couple thousand rounds ($50 worth of ammunition for a .22), and something bigger for larger game/people w/ a couple hundred, you will probably be good for a long, long time.
The only way you are going to go through several hundred rounds in an engagement (and survive) is if you are in a military-like situation where you are laying down a base of fire so others can move.
Otherwise, you will probably either win or die before you go through 30 rounds. If you win, you will get whatever weapons and ammunition your attackers had. If not, it doesn't matter.
Your biggest expenditure will probably be rounds fired gathering day to day sustenance. Squirrels, birds, rabbits, deer, etc, at least while they last.
If yellowstone erupts, and it is going to, it will not only kill a bunch of people straight away, but will blanket the earth with an ash layer in the upper atmosphere wich will block out most sunlight. Then once the ash settles out, it will phosphate load streams causing all kinds of problems. The greenhouse gases that will get released may cause an episode of uncontrolled warming after the initial cooling caused by the ash. Farming probably won't be possible for a while, even on the other side of the world.
