after SHTF, would Boomers present a legitimate threat or simply be viewed as walking loot boxes?

Overwhelmingly no. The youngest boomer is over 60. Sure you've got some freaks who bow hunt into their 70s, but the vast majority cant climb stairs without a rest and would not be a meaningful presence during any kind of civil emergency.

I hate boomers so much. Get out of my hobby. Stop hoarding all the guns. Just like with the property market they got in on the ground floor and bought barrels of surplus for pennies and now won’t let it go. Thats only of course if they don’t sporterize them. Cant die off soon enough. Selfish pricks, get out get out get out get out get out

A Boomer is someone 60+ years old at this point, very few people above the age of 60 are in a position to be able to survive long term without medication or significant help from others.There are some that live in rural areas with solar setups/food caches so may survive for awhile but once their food runs out and they are forced to farm and hunt , I think thats when a lot of "survivalist" types end up dying off. Then again I know some 60+ year old guys who stay in shape and might be ok for some years but eventually we all need healthcare and its much more impactful at that age. Part of why half the population didnt make it past 40 in medieval times.

If you picture "SHTF" as a real-life game of Battle Royale, no. If you consider that, in an actual scenario where the rule of law and public services have failed, keep in mind most boomers would probably just camp in their McMansions and take pot-shots at you for coming near their property. In the latter scenario it doesn't matter if they're old and out of shape, all they have to do is snipe you from a window.

Like the first guy said, the youngest boomer is over 60. That makes them a threat as a voting bloc but if the happening ever actually goes down then the vast majority are going to be worse than useless. There are still millions of Vietnam vets alive but their capabilities are going to vary wildly. If you're still thinking of boomers when envisioning TEOTWAWKI instead of gangs of broccoli hairs in FRT AR Nissan technicals then you've already lost.

Real communities and families survive and protect each other. This is the real answer.If you know people by name and eat together regularly as a group in 2026, that's a real community.If you're old and alone, look at your life choices. Old people who are part of close-knit families, communities, and churches are taken care of. Show up and contribute.

almost all the boomers I know are on some serious pharmaceuticals to keep them alive, even the ones who are active and in good shape. In a SHTF situation that was long-term enough to interrupt their supply of drugs, a lot of them would die and a lot of the ones who don't would have seriously reduced mobility and activity.This is actually a problem because a lot of them are very useful and generally good to have around.

Most boomers are old by now and not in good physical condition, but anyone with a gun is a threat. That is the whole thing about firearms, they don't fully make up for physical deficiencies but they go a long way towards bridging the gap.In any case this is orders of magnitude down the list of things to worry about such as.
>What type of SHTF situation is occurring.
>Is this a long term disruption or permanent? Localized or widespread?
>What are the power structures still in place, which ones are gone and which ones are emerging?
>What are your needs in terms of food/water/energy/medical needs and how will you meet them?
>What community are you part of and who is in it? What are their needs?
Fantasizing blowing away old people because you think it'll be easier doesn't make everything else go away, and indicates patent mental issues that'll probably bite you in the ass more than anything.

In a real societal collapse these guys are all going to be without all of their pills and shots.

They will be too physically and emotionally distressed to participate meaningfully in the transitional society and will probably not survive to benefit from the eventual stabilization and reconstruction.

They drop $4,000 into san AR15 and chest rig but also have zero first aid training, like 3 days worth of food and water, and are too out of shape to do anything but man a static defensive position they were too unfit to build themselves.

That's it.If a 60 year old can hit a man sized target at 200 feet, can sit in a fox hole for three days, can camp, can hike up a hill, they're infantry. If your zoomer ass is caught on low ground, can't return effective fire at 200 feet, can't stay in a hole for three days can't camp out for three weeks, you die. I'm sorry zoomers, whatever skills you have, there's no substitute for core infantry skills.

It's their houses and hidden storage areas that will yield good results. They have spare rooms stacked with ammo in airtight ammo cans. Gun safes are easy to open with an angle grinder. Their food stores I'd be less inclined to trust. But depending they might be decent. Most of them aren't clever enough to booby trap their shit. But especially with old vets, you better consider it. Especially any old fuckers who understand Operation Eldest Son.. I'd avoid raiding boomer ranchers/farmers. They'll sabotage and booby trap their shit for sure. Poison the food, marked in a way that unless you knew how they marked it, you wouldn't know. Besides, unlike the urban boomers, rural boomers may be more likely to trade things. Especially if you are showing up with medication and alcohol to trade. tools will also have them in a trading mood. Especially if you have a supply of needed expendables.. Like chainsaw blades, common nails and cutting tool blades. Seeds will often get their attention as well. So in reality, they're a mixed bag and tend to reflect where you find them. Most of them will be a problem to deal with. A few will prove useful.
