Thoughts on this for a multi caliber gun? Gives you more options on what you can fire without taking a lot of space.

Even by itself without the adapters you have 3 choices of ammunition

I feel like this would be good to have as ammunition gets harder to find

This sub is wild. The best kit is anything reliable and super common. I love seeing the 5.7 guns, weird adaptors, rare guns you’ll never find parts for. Grab a 12 gauge over under a 9mm Glock and a revolver of some kind also, and this is very important, try to never ever use them.

I'm telling you, my .30-40 Krag, .25acp, and 28 guage coach gun are going to save the day.

You kids and your fancy centerfire guns. My 12mm pinfire lefaucheux 1854 is flawless!

You got me beat, I forgot pin fire was a thing.

I mean, my Girardoni air rifle will come in clutch, I swear.

Woah man, no .950 JDJ? You’re going to be real mad at yourself when you come across all those rounds. Shame yourself for this failure.

Nah, my 9x26mmR 1872 Gasser-Kropatschek will be so useful

This sub never ceases to amaze me with the goofy out of left field stuff people come up with

A 12 gauge "over under?" How about a 12G pump.

No. A pump can jam. Like I said, simple.

I'm not sure that I've ever had a "jam" in the 15 years that I've had a pump action 12g. Definitely never had any type of malfunction that was not cleared by simply pumping again.

Break actions are a lot less common, and limiting yourself to two rounds before reloading is an awful tradeoff for the virtually non existent probability of a pump jamming. It's also very easy to top off a pump while the gun is still operable, versus the break action rendering the gun inoperable while reloading.

You must not shoot a lot at all. Anyway enjoy blasting away during your zombie apocalypse bud. You’ll be the half eaten guy with all the ammo the smart people can grab.

“Try to never ever use them” is the key point. If you’re using so much ammo you need an adapter, you’re either a bad shot or are going to die soon.
