i would go ak style family, over 13 countires use this weapon for military use including some of our allies. Yes the AR is a good weapon but has very high maintainence bolt carrier. I believe as long as you have atleast one good weapon and ammo to start with, once said target is down you can grab weapon ammo and go. A flint steel ignition system with charred cotton to start fires and some sort of water purification. Shelter and food can aquirred.

ak-47 no doubt... sig 226 as backup... and at least two fat friends that cant run as fast as me.
plus... i like the simplicity of the AK and its iron sights... some folks in the AR crowd get carried away with accessories

And talk about ammo. All these rifles and handguns will be of no more use than a club if you have no ammo. I have a deversity of rifles and handguns from an old Winchester .22 carnaval rifle to a couple assault rifles including a Bushmaster and a Romanian AK 47 with bayonet, and alot in between, but along with these I have been stocking ammo, and continue to. Have you seen the prices of ammo lately?
I believe in addition to the rifles, for home defense the shotgun is a very good weapon to have on hand. Both long and short barrels, and again plenty of ammo both in the small game loads and large game and slug loads.
In addition I have a very nice shooting Lyman .50 cal black powder, with cans and cans of both FFg and FFFFg.
Don't forget about the bows. A nice compound with plenty of arrows with both broadheads and fieldtips.
I doubt that the US will come undone in my lifetime to the point of anarchy where I'll need to defend my family and home from invading marauders, but I like to keep plenty of weapons and ammo on hand. I believe a good deversity of weapons is best.
