If I had to be dumped off in 3rd world shite hole and could only have 1 rifle, sorry guys its going to be an AK. I'm 100% all American and I love my M1,M1a,ar15, and M1 carbine but they don't get the job done as well as an Ak will piss poor conditions. Furthermore I wouldn't trade mine for a chicken. I'll shoot one and deep fry it thanks to my AK.
