Ehm, I can do all of them except #4,5 & 6, although give me a shotgun and it'l replace that black powder gun anyday.

Thing is, if the world went into a "great depression" it really wouldn't be like that. Anyone read The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham? That classic book, which, although far fetched, is a lot more accurate than what you suggest Felix, and it was published some 50 years ago. Of course people would use all in their power, rather than immediately going back to the most primitive of ways.
