What sort of assault rifle should I purchase?

[Filthy_Pagan]

Having a hard time deciding what to get to support the second amendment and my freedom as an american.

I'm leaning towards an AK-47 because they're reliable and fire large caliber rounds that will go through cinder block without too much trouble. They aren't quite as accurate as m4s, but m4s fire shitty little rounds that are barely larger than a .22lr. Galils are right out as I refuse to support zionism. Maybe a HK33A2? Help me decide how to support the constitution.


Serious replies only, please

Get a Sig M4, most accurate AR on the market. AK 47's are for haji's

I don't need something terribly accurate. When society collapses I don't see myself having to snipe, as I'm in an urban environment. Plus .223 was designed to wound, not kill. A 7.62 is accurate enough and is much larger round. Any suggestions that aren't .223/ 5.56?

I also suggested the R25 .308 caliber. If your on a video game msg board asking for firearm advice you probably shouldn't own a firearm. Just saying

There are people from all walks of life and with a veritable cornucopia of hobbies and knowledge here. Are you saying I shouldn't take your advice because you're on an elf forum?

I'm saying you would probably get more accurate info on say an NRA msg board. I am a member of the NRA but I don't claim to be an expert on firearms

its been mentioned a few times, but take a look at the AR10/15 platforms. I got plenty of trigger time on both and prefer either over AKs.

also, it truly depends on your shooting style, your proficiency, your preferences. There's never going to be a "perfect gun" that you can buy. But, there is a "perfect gun for YOU" that you can find. find a pal who has different guns, pay for the rounds and have them take you to the range. see what you like.

Here's a decent comparison from the Ar15 community in comparsion of AK47s to AR10s.

1) reliability - Draw
2) accuracy - AR10
3) lethality - AR10
4) customization - Draw
5) ammo availability / compatibility - Draw
6) parts availability - AK
7) portability - Draw
8) recoil - Draw
9) flash/sound suppression -Draw

They do, they suck, I had one years ago. You cant hit the side of a barn with them, unless full auto. Urban? imo tactical shotgun hands down. Otherwise, AR15.

First If you think 5.56 suck you have never been shot by one. The Galil you like is also 5.56. Now lets talk sense if you are worried about SHTF think like this your not gonna find allot of ammo around for AK after things go sidewayz. But all police federal and us military use 5.56 and 7.62. So there never will be a shortage EVER! Now as for the best rifle Hands down M14 / M1A, Socom,Scout squad or just stander M1A.

The M1A is nice, especially since I really like the M1 Garand. .308 is stopping power, and an excellent deer hunting rifle. But still, in an urban setting, I choose a shotgun. As far as for ammo, you can make shotgun shells yourself. And there are different types of ammo you can use, even slugs if you have a rifle bored shotgun, which don't just put holes in things but make them shatter/pop.
