This is a recurring theme in many post-apocalyptic chat-rooms. As I read about the uprising in Libya, it seems that the Kalashnikov may be a proper weapon to chose for assault and self-defense. The AK-47 was apparently one of the first real assault rifles manufactured, after the original Sturmgewehr 42. Even after sixty years, this model and its variants remain the most widely used and popular assault rifles in the world, and mainly because of its durability (you can repair it with a hammer and a chisel), low production costs, and ease of use (even someone like me, who has no expertise with weapons, and no inclination to ever use one, could most likely kill an innocent civilian without too much stress and hassle). It has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as revolutionary and terrorist organizations – so it comes with tremendous references.
