Galil. At ammo with al reliability. Done.
Except that you are mostly stuck with Century built guns in the US, and they are really heavy.

Since we all know what ammo is going to be more abundant, the answer is simple. AR15
Every cop, armed personal, spec ops, seals,rangers, DEA, FBI, need I go on? The .223/5.56 will be everywhere, if the shtf!
Except that you are mostly stuck with Century built guns in the US, and they are really heavy.
If there are piles of ammo and guns laying around everywhere from dead good guys, I'm going with the statistics and betting I'm dead along with them.
Nice storyWhen the SHTF, the AR will look up bewildered and unsure, and the AK will be standing on the fan blade, a slow sickle-like grin splitting it face. "Welcome to my world." it will say with a chuckle, and the AR will shudder, unsure of itself.
"Trust in your after-market modifications. Trust in your after-market modifications" it chants as a mantra as it contemplates how long its retrofitted piston system and as-of-yet unused Magpul furniture will last in this hellish place...
"No!" It says. I have excellent accuracy! My ballistics are irrefutable! Every country I have met with the AK-47 has been conquered! I am the conqueror!" it yells to the wasted, blackened wind.
"Heh. Is good you stay positive." It hears from behind itself. The AR spins around, its ambidextrous $354 dollar aftermarket mag release quivering, to see the AK-74 strike a match against the gruff on its cheek. The AR feels its heart sink under the weight of its brass-cased, inferior ammunition.
The AK-74 looks up at its father, the AK-47, and laughs. The AK 74 walks up to the downtrodden AR, and says "Come on, boy. We have much to discuss!" it says, the three rifles forge their way into the dark, unknown world ahead.
"So, tell me about, how you say, accessory rails?" The AK-74 says.
The AR, for the first time, splits a grin.
"Wait'll you get a hold of peep sights."
Except, wouldn't the AK-74 be more comparable to the SCAR? Since it is a decendant of the M-16/M-4/AR system.
