actually, as a private citizen score one for the AKM's in 7.62X39. Have you priced 5.56, or .223, lately? A case of 7.62X39 can be had for less than 200$ in most cases & 30-round magazines are often less than 20$ each.As a private citizen, especially in a "breakdown of the social order" scenario, that's not a luxury you're going to have. In such a scenario, the main advantage the AR-15 variant will have over an AK-variant chambered in 7.62x39mmR is that ammunition (and spare mags) may be easier to scavenge, especially given the proliferation of AR-variant "patrol rifles" among law enforcement these days. But that advantage could be mitigated to a large extent by opting for an AK-variant chambered for 5.56mm.
