Back in my Pig killing days I had several ARs mostly in 5.56 yet I also had one chambered for .22 and another 7.62X39,, SKSs and AK-47s rounded out my armory not counting pistols.. Different glass and red dots plus night scopes (Russian) .. The 14.5 inch (16 with muzzle flash therefore legal) 5.56 was a night time pig killing machine..
The 7.62x39 ammo IMO was more accurate with the SKS (I had 2) than the AKs (also 2 rifles one was a real Russian red star and everything the other was a Chinese parade weapon) The AR in 7.62x39 was a good weapon for punching through cinder blocks at close range (75 yards)...speaking of close range the 7.62X39 was OK out to about 125/150 yards and after that with bullet drop it was like throwing stones..still a heavy hitter but accuracy sucked. I mostly used head shots but I would go for the heart if that was all I had to shoot at. 5.56 dropped everything I shot at but I was a picky shooter and tended to hit what I was aiming at out to at least 200 yards during the day and 100+ during the night. Longest shot taken was a heart shot taken at 327 yards; two shots in rapid succession and pig DRT.
I sold everything before the move overseas and made money on every weapon...If I would have waited another year to sell I would have almost doubled my money.
Two or 3 thirty round mags, a pistol, some snacks, and a decent knife and the terror of the feral pigs of Texas was on the prowl.
I liked the AR for the mag capacity and ease of use and all the ways you could customize.. Plus I always figured if TSHTF there would always be ammo available either through the military or cops.
Now being overseas I have never felt a need for a firearm as crime is very low but even so there are weapons available for getting bigger better weapons.
Weapon bans only work in some government minds..... look no further than Chicago and other weapon ban Cities.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
Silence those who disagree and you will never realize you are wrong.
No one rules if no one obeys
