Ok, here is the scenario:

You are going to a alien planet, that is almost exactly like Earth. Same soil types, and oceanic environments. Same, atmospheric content, and weather. The only thing different, is that you don't know the life forms on the planet. But you do expect they are similar to those on Earth.

So, here is the personnel question. You know you can carry your survival gear, and communication gear, needed to explore parts of the planet.

But,........

You have knowledge, that you can carry only one Side Arm, One Blade for a weapon, and one long gun. Only one of each, for personnel protection. You can carry as much ammunition as you please, and can be resupplied. But, only one type of ammunition. But as many weapon accessories as you want.

So what is your choice going to be?

1 side arm.
1 long gun.
1 blade weapon ( not tool type)( counting bayonets)
1 ammunition type for each weapon.

?? as many weapon accessories as you please, All up to you. (excluding bayonets)
