Brexit is least advantagous to the wealthy and large mega corps

That and The EU army terrifys me. It would only be effective against its own member states

@Khanclansith @Atkins You mentioned buying a not cheap AR-15. What are things to look for in buying an AR?
Is there a set of accessories everyone uses?
Does it work
Does it take a 30 round magazine
That's it
Dont fall into the meme
I should ask what meme you'd be referring to.
@pratel I think I said there's no beating an AR except with a fancier AR. there are tons of options and customizations but which you choose will depend on what you are trying to achieve and what your personal preferences are. the possible configurations are endless, which is a big part of the reason why ARs are so dominant.
the 'meme' he was referring to would be guys dumping thousands of dollars into a rifle for marginal or non-existent improvement in functionality.
Oh, so like people do when they build desktops and spend hundreds on lights.
So what do you think is worth having on a rifle for the apocalypse?
well, i severely doubt you are going to be getting into any pitched battles (that you would survive), and I severely doubt you are going to be performing any sort of assault upon a defended location. mostly a rifle in a SHTF situation is for personal defense. shooting a lone bad guy that surprises you, or suppressing a group you stumble across so you can run away.
therefore sustained fire and long range fire are not particularly important. heavy profile barrels are therefore unnecessary weight.
speaking of unnecessary weight, since you're going to be carrying this thing and rarely (if ever) using it, keeping it light is important. you want to keep the amount of shit you have hanging off it to a minimum.
if you can afford to purchase a decent rugged optic, then you may as well use it. most militaries these days use optics by default and iron sights are kept only as a backup (if kept at all).
optics are a place where you don't want to cheap out though. there are cheap chinese clones that lack durability. scratched lenses and moisture seepage are problems.
i've seen scratched ACOGs but i've never seen a scratched ELCAN.
not saying ACOGs aren't good, but just passing on my experience.
you don't want anything that needs batteries, especially CR123 batteries.
by law the minimum barrel length you can have without registering the rifle as a SBR is 16". you can have a carbine gas system, a midlength gas system, or a dissipator gas system. i think midlength is the most popular these days. gives you a bit more real estate on your quad rail (if you choose to have one).
another thing to consider is if you want a traditional direct gas impingement system, or a pistol system.
