Iwould keep my .50 cal., briefly.
I will use my .50 cal air gun hopefully only once... to take a big honking firearm from someone else. There will be a lot of bad and desperate people. If it is end of the world survival conditions, I want something more than an airgun. So I would take the biggest one I have to "leverage" a pump 12 or something in that league, and work my way up from there.
Now if I am squared away in the self-defense department, and then get one airgun to put food on the table, I might take the RWS34 Panther, or the Cometa 400. I think a reliable break barrel springer would give good service for many years, and I can basically keep it running. The Sheridan is tempting but a little loud, and I couldn't maintain one as easily if a seal goes or something.
