AR15 or AK47 ?
2.23/5.56 Nato... or the 7.65x39mm ?
AK 47-
best price might be about $700, maybe more. Case of 7.62x39 right now, $350
Total, $1100 with a couple mags
AR 15-
PSA Freedom lower- $125
BCA 16" upper in 5.56 with BCG- $225
BCA 16" upper in 7.62x39 with BCG- $225
Case of 223, $350
Case of 7.62x39, $350
Figure about $1370, $1400 to include dedicated mags and sights.
So, about 10% extra will get you 2 functional calibers instead of one, 2x the total ammo, and you have the ability to mount scopes, red dots, etc.
I'm old enough to remember when AKs were cheap, and the appeal then was that they were cheaper to run than ARs. That's no longer the case.

I consider .223 and 5.56 one in the same really... So the AR would get the nod... But the 7.65 is a little more meat.
Has the AR15 platform actually been in combat? The AK47 has with the sks before it... and fires the same round...

Are you Brendan Fraser from that movie where he's been in a bunker since 1962?

5.56
No shotgun because you shoulder would be killing you if you were shooting all day everyday and long reload times.
5.56 would be the most abundant and you could still use 223
7.65 would be heavy to carry around. That would be for hunkering down with open area around you. You could still do this with 556 just not as far of a shot.

a shotgun with buckshot but thats just me
Shotgun ammo is big and heavy.
Is it easier to carry 100 rds of .223 or 12 gauge?

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.

AR because of parts and ammo availability.

To answer your question. AR all day.
Personal zombie gun…

Without hesitation the AK.

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 cause of the shear amount of ammo you can pack and store.

An AR will completely blow their lungs out!

You don't have to reload.
