Watchtower & Guns (page 5)

just fine

I thought the leopard print was too over the top 😜

I have a Ruger lc9s and a shot gun, but thinking of getting rifles. I want an assault rifles but one big enough to hunt. AK47 American made by century arms looks good and can be baught for about $600. Ar10 would be nice but more money. Scar17 would be awesome but way more money.

I'm just thinking if the shit hits the fan one should be prepared.

Hunting deer (?) with any .223 rifle is illegal in most areas because its cartridge is too weak to immediately put the deer down. It's marginal with an AK 47 because its cartridge is barely enough to do the job. Its accuracy also leaves much to be desired.

I would bite the bullet and get an HK 91 or one of its aftermarket clones. Its .308 is sufficient for hunting. It is also one of the most accurate and durable rifle in its class.

I thought a AK was a 308 caliber or equivalent?

An AK 47 fires a 7.62 X 39 bullet. A .308 rifle like the HK and others fires a 7.62 X 51 bullet (Informally known at one time as .308 NATO.). The latter cartridge is much more powerful than the AK 47's cartridge.

In the image below the middle two cartridges are the 7.62 X 51 side by side with the 7.62 X 39 (Russian).
