this one is a two parter but I want to draw on the minds here for a consensus as well as the usual comments, ideas and thoughts. After a mind numbly( so it feels to me) amount of digging I have found that, aside from 22 LR and 9mm, that 7.62X39 and .223/5.56 NATO are , if not the top two, two of the most called on caliber for a rifle in a shtf scenario. With that said , the AK is the go to for 7.62x39. and the AR is the top choice for 5.56. IF we ignore the platform's stated calibers and look at the calibers themselves we lead into the main question I have a question for you all: if you had to choose ONE of the two calibers for a shtf scenario in the US which would it be and why?
NOTE: I very well could have missed a relevant thread that hashes over this. If so I am asking you to link to the thread you think would hep make the above choice.
As Always I thank you and appreciate any comments. remarks and ideas.
