And if wishes were horses...
There's a meme going around, and I picked it up over at Tam's:
"What would you get if you could get any five guns, cost and practicality be hanged?Cost be hanged? I'll rule out fixed and crew-served guns here, to keep the decision making process manageable ( Read more... )

Ok, geez...one more...let's see now..
I've got an extreme long-range weapon with the .50; I've got a good handgun with plenty of punch with the Randall; a nice, light, flat-shooting carbine with the Ruger; I've got a good home defense weapon/heavy caliber hunting rifle/shotgun for fowl...what else do I need?
ok, I'm gonna go for the AK47 or any one of the Kalashnikov variants in the 7.62x39 mmm. I'm picking this because every armed bad guy in the world seems to have one so if I am in a scrap with the bad guys I can use any ammo I capture from them, and they won't be able to tell the difference between the sound of me shooting and them shooting, and by having this weapon I will be familiar with it and so if mine goes to shit and I need to pick up one from them will already be familiar with it.
Plus there's a reason why this piece is so popular worldwide. It has reasonable punch, is reliable in difficult conditions, and is relatively accurate within iron-sight range.
