re: 3 guns only - wwyb?

You CAN use it for hunting. Not ideal.

I look at this two ways. 3 guns for everyday use in which case an assault weapon would be useless for virtually anything other then range use. For virtually every use, there is something else that does that better, wouldn't you think?

For end of days use, I say an assault weapon in 223 is a great choice. WIth Zeiss scope (can't remember what power you said) is where you lost me. Why? Not to mention you have a "sniper" rifle listed right under it (quit playing video games and go outside).

Not saying what you can put in "your 3", but don't call people idiots for not including an assault weapon.
