Which one? I'm talking about economy, government, WROL collapse. You can either take your AK47 variants or your AR15 variants. Which one?
I'm taking a spoon that I can shave my face with and nothing else.

That's easy. If SHTF, I'll get on INGO and debate AR vs. AK endlessly...
I'm actually trying to say something serious. There will be no end to the AR vs. AK question even if SHTF. You're sitting in your guard tower keeping your two-year food storage shed and water source safe, while your son is out gathering wood in the vicinity. If you have an AK in your hands, you're going to start thinking, gee, I should have gone with the AR in case I need to make that 200 yard shot to stop the marauding zombie from overtaking my son.
If you have an AR, you'd think instead, gee, maybe I should have gone with an AK, and convert all that saving in ammo and rifle into gold. I have to clean this all the time, and during times of catastrophe it's just not a good idea to divert all this energy to maintenance.
In the mean time, your neighbor will be thinking, gee, should I have bought these twenty Mosin Nagant? I could've just bought an AR with the same amount of money. But then if it breaks down I wouldn't have spare parts, and I like being able to poke at the people in the next county. if I want ammo I can just go to some farm in the Ukraine and dig up a box or two.
Look, I'd bet you'd be out of water or food before your particular rifle choice makes a difference.
Where do you guys imagine ammo would be "lying around"? That kind of makes me think of video games where you go around shooting monsters, picking up ammo and health points.
