Okay, you're stuck in the woods let's just be stupid and say for life with only one gun (no oil or cleaning supplys) and spam packs of ammo so you don't have to worry about them going bad. What would you pick and why?
I've thought about this a few times and I keep comming up with the ak47 (China or Russian). I would rather have a 6mm or 6.5x55 round but can't think of a gun that would last forever chambered in either so that's no good.
The AK47 is the one rifle I have that was 10x what I expected. I treat mine like total trash (cause they were so cheap) and have shot A LOT of rounds through it without ANY troubles ever!
Now I know there were good guns of the past be it the M1 of wwII or the M16 of the 70s and while I would agree the M16 is a better gun in many ways I don't think so in the above situation.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what the rest of you think.
I'm only speaking from the guns I've shot so I'm sure some of you (really old guys) have a better idea.
