Airforce Condor full length barrel in .25 hands down. One of the new 2018 models with the most up-to-date valving. Add a good shroud or suppressor to it and buy the interchangeable tophats so you can control FPE level more easily.
The design is tough. All you need are a handful of replacement o-rings to keep it going, and maybe buy a couple of extra breeches from Air-Force (only $10-$15 or so a piece).
Set the gun for 50fpe and you've got a 40+ shot gun you can brain shoot most animals in the US (a lot more shots if you want to shoot outside the top of your curve). Crank it up to max FPE and cast your own heavy slugs and you have something that could possibly take whitetail deer behind the shoulder in a pinch.
The point of a survival airgun isn't to be the gun you go fight zombies with. Its the gun you keep around your homestead that you set out on hunting trips with so as to quietly take game without alerting other humans or using valuable firearm ammo. That's how Louis and Clark used their's (besides to bluff the locals into thinking they had magical weapons). It was a substitute for firearms while hunting so firearm ammo could be conserved.
A survival airgun is probably the biggest benefit to a person who already lives out in the country around game and already has some firearms that can be used for self-defense. Its not the gun to pick for permanently bugging out. Its the gun to have once you've already bugged out or homesteaded and have your mountain-man or frontier existence established.
