I was scrolling down and saw the comment about using a sniper rifle for self defense against at least certain mamono. I happen to agree that a very long, heavy, typically bolt action gun isn'y very useful in most of the likely situations. Large pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, the newer bullpup style assault rifles and their semiauto versions, and don't forget the P-90 / PS-90 (S = semiauto). A belgian firearms company (FN) used to make a really sweet semiauto bullpup in 5.56 (AKA .223 Caliber), but, it was shelved by the need to make the AR/M-16 style weeapons that the US and it's military insist upon. The gun was the FS-2000, and, with proper care and the right ammunition it can reach out @700 Yards and ring on a steel target... It has lots of nice features, and has accessory rails instead of a built in sight that the Steyr AUG sports. Also there are things like a derringer that will fire .45 long colt and .410 shotgun shells, and there are manstopper type rounds for the .410 as well as the birdshot type... Since many of the encounters are in heavy forest/Jungle type terrain, visibility at range is impaired, even in rolling hills type terrain as well. If you don't really want to hurt your opponent, there are less-than-lethal alternatives. I like the stun round in a six shot revolver type 40mm grenade launcher as an idea (never shot one, so dunno about recoil), as well as tasers, pepper spray/pepper gel, and, air horns (for those werebats and such with over sensative hearing...  That might be a bit problematic when there are MG's who know about it, as it would then be advertising...  For the goo types, I recommend a CO2 fire extinguisher...
