I thought it was the merits of the particular rifle, not the ammo that was the topic. Lets break it down.
SKS: heavy and reliable (stock is hard wood, parts are machined from heavy STEEL), super reliable 10 rd mag, lethal and accurate enough for 300 yards (3 footballfeilds for the distance impaired), doesnt need bi-daily cleaning in less than ideal conditions. looks vary, at best someone will mistake it for somekind of mutant deer rifle.
AR: light and handy (points very naturally!!) parts are made from t6 aluminum (and held togehter buy 2 roll pins), 30 rd mags (nuff said), accurate as hell (you will hit center mass in your sleep) needs cleaning often to prevent jams in less than ideal conditions( it even has a nifty knob for helping clear malfunctions!! ***?) looks super fu*&in cool.
Both have their merits, and will do the job. i just some of just perfer the sks, some dont. MY ideal SHTF rifle would a garand or m1a or some other semi-auto in 8mm (Hakim i think) i wish i was old enough to get in on that deal. Unfortunitly I own only 4 long guns, ruger 10/22, sks, no4 enfield, and a mossy 500 tactical.
