thats my only issue...if you want 5.56

go with AR 15

yea

if you are choosing a battle rifle

Using an AK as any kind of shtf gun is nearsighted imo

you'll run out of AK rounds really quick here

I have an AR

why not have both is the way I look at it

I just want an AK in 5.56

@Arcturus because humping two rifles is gay

well in that case, go for it 😄

well if you're looking at just ditching your house and having one rifle, sure

but you won't be able to carry that much ammo that way anyways tbh

shits heavy

as well as two kinds of ammo etc.

I like AKs for their reliability but ammo supplies make it unreasonable in any kind of X situation

as well as two kinds of ammo etc.

yeah, I dunno. 7.62x39 is common enough

.223 is more common obviously

but it's not some esoteric hard to find round

and its the chosen rifle of the gov and feds

and military

the perfect SHTF combo

is AR15 and Glock19

5.56 and 9mm

A beretta 92 wouldn't be a bad choice either, though it's not ideal in terms of weight and size

considering you still have many issued with it

and tons of surplus etc, common in private hands

yeah the 92 is another good choice.

I like the walther ppqm2

those are super sexy

pricey tho?

But yeah glock 19 is the best shtf

wouldn't mind picking one of those up, honestly like the european style mag release

ppqm2 are only like $500

My roomie has one

comparable to others

best gun I've ever shot

price ain't bad, I had a walther in .22 caliber, great pistol

h&k is the expensive german one, walther is about average

HK isn't worth it anymore tbu
