[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1783429, member: 42"] 2000 rounds over the life of the gun? If you aren't going to shoot much (2K is not a lot of ammo) and just want something to shove under the bed for comfort factor, you could buy yourself the cheapest 5.45 AK you can get along with a case of ammo and be done. But, if you are truly looking for a "SHTF" gun, do you really want to rely on a 'bargain bin' anything? What about the 'total cost' of training and the ammo required to conduct such training? No rifle and stockpile of ammo is worth a damn if you can't run it hard under pressure, repeatedly. I swear by the AR platform, mostly because that's what I'm comfortable with and trained on...you will get a million opinions, buy X or stay away from Y, and all have some validity but you will have to do a lot of your own research to sort fact from opinion. Figure out what you really want the rifle for and go from there. [/QUOTE]
