[QUOTE=MB888;166754]@Ryan, That might be true if you expect to move and fight nonstop! AR15 is still a goto for me as it is the more common rifle as far as parts to trade/obtain and ammo availability etc. I would keep it simple too. Non-piston, A2 upper or at least with detachable handle.

I agree In the event of SHTF or a civil dispute our military at the moment carries M-16 not AK's or 14's so their will be no problem finding ammo or parts. And as for the burning building ak thing I don't disagree but if the building burns down and my rifle is in it then so am I, I don't understand the whole I can throw my gun out of the chopper and it will still work bit if my gun falls out of the chopper or gets run over by a tank then their is a 98% chance I did to and it is no longer my problem.
