Well, I would usually agree with you on this one but during these particular times I would have to reach for my AK. That gun is the SHTF gun for sure. I could kill animals with it as well if need be but mainly for protection against looters, etc.

HI staarma, I'll tell you what I don't like about the AK-47, as my only gun to have !!! It is not accurate, ammo not powerful enough or suitable for hunting, AK-47 is only good for a short range (300 yard) assult rifle.

HI GRI, I almost pick the M1 over the M1A, BUT, the fact that the M1A has a 20 round detachable mag, that you can take out, and add extra rounds or different rounds, made me pick the M1A, I love my M1, but it only has 8 rounds !!!

How about a loaded one?
Isn't too much good if you dont have the ammo.
LoL

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

How about a nice long range sniper weapon with night scope, I hate hand to hand.

HI cdennyb, I like your choice, BUT that sniper rifle, MUST HAVE iron sights for close range, and speed, and must have a mag, with at least 4 to 5 rounds !!!
