*cough*AR-15*cough*

Hickey, we all know that an AR-15 is superior to your mini-14.  ;) ;D I don't have any problems with all three of mine, and any one of them would be the weapon I'd choose in a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI situation.

1hickey:
You obviously haven't used one long enough in the field to get it dirty :o ;D ;D ;D

Dusting off an old thread, I know...

That said, I'd pick something in a caliber that would be less difficult to replenish.

.22LR fits the bill.

However...

In a no-law type situation I am not going to trust my life to 35gr of rimfire.

So, probably my AR. Parts and ammo are as close as the nearest armory, cop shop, or abandoned cruiser (remember, we're talking zombie hordes end of world stuff here). It will punch through body armor. Granted, it doesn't have 300+ standoff power, but anarchy is usually a CQB/urban environment.
