re: AR15 or AK47

In a zombie apocalypse you want an AK. Although it isn’t as accurate, it is far more reliable given those circumstances. Don’t keep that M/AR clean and see what happens. You can shite down the barrel of an AK and it will still fire.

quote:Agreed. In a situation where it is likely that your weapon will need to fire when you pull the trigger, AK wins that scenario hands down. You can throw the dirtiest of ammo thru one, and it keeps on spitting lead. The AR is a great weapon as long as you keep it clean and use quality ammo, but if we are talking shite hits the fan, and you are in an environment not exactly conducive to maintenance, you are probably better of with the AK.

This is overblown, imo. Yes the AK has looser tolerances and should be/is better in dirty conditions, but ARs have come a long way since Vietnam. BCM had one ("filthy 14") go somewhere around 60,000 rounds without cleaning with only a couple ftfs. The bottom line is, AR or AK, you want a good one for shtf. I stick with Arsenal AKs and BCM ARs, although there are other great makers/importers of both. In ARs I want hammer forged barrels and barrels/bcgs that are hpt/mpi and made from the best alloys. These will hold up for a long time in the harshest conditions.

This was true decades ago, not so much now. With quality parts, you don't have to worry much about it.
