As far as legally available fire arms AR15 or AK47 which would you recommend for a good assault style (just in case) weapon. I used both an M14 and M16 in nam and while there were definately advantages to the M16 (mainly weight and how much ammo you could hump) I always liked the range and flatter trajectory of the M14. I have never used an AK but know that a lot of mercs have used them and wonder if they have more of the characteristics of an M14 that I like while maintaining the smaller size. Also..I’m not sure if I trust the country of manufacture for most of the AK’s..would want something reliable. Are there any other suggestions
Really what the heck does a citizen need with a machine/submachine gun/assault rifle? I can understand a historical war collecter wanting them but nobody else obviously needs them since we have militay branches and law enforcement to protect us. If Hawkins’ (The Omaha mall shooter) relative didn’t have the AK47 to begin with there probably wouldn’t have as many people killed.
I’m looking to fill my gun cabnit with a few surplus rifles(mostly target shooting and maybe varmint hunting). When I think of surplus rifles I think of the mosin nagant, kar98, springfield, lee enfield, sks, ak47, and other popular military rifles. I want reliabilityy, cheap ammunition, and decent/good accuracy. Whats my best bet? I would like to pay between 0-0 for each rifle.
