Purchasing an "Assault Rifle"!

Still, I prefer surprise over accuracy. Then again, I’m a gunless nerd, so what the hell do I know (other than I prefer the shotgun over the rocket launcher in Quake Live).

I am pretty accurate at 300 meters with the AK 47. AK 47 can hit a man sized target pretty easily at 300 meters which is about as far as you’ll be engaging targets with an assault rifle. I can also personally attest to the reliability of the M-4 in the desert. It was mainly the early models supplied in vietnam that malfunctioned a lot.

Sure. I was just kinda pointing out the AK vs. M16 comparison is pretty much dependant on circumstance.

My only concern about buying an M-4 chambered for 6.8 is that the ammo is not as plentiful as 5.56. If I ran out of ammo after society collapsed it would be more difficult to resupply myself. I suppose if you stocked up a couple thousand rounds it wouldnt be too big of a deal. But 6.8 is also more expensive. Whereas 1000 rounds of 5.56 is about 350 dollars 1000 rounds of 6.8 is about 800-1000 dollars.

That is why you hand load.

I just think the 6.8 is a superior round to the 5.56 all around. I would still love to see the 6.5 Grendel become popular, but it more than likely will not.
