This equipment section is an acceptable forum for posting "Which Gun" topics.
In my opinion, the question of "what gun" should be asked rarely, unless they are choosing between two brands.
What gun you use is your chose, some people, may totally love the AK-47 design, while me, for example, would much prefer the MP5 design, and am uncomfortable operating a large rifle like an AK-47.
In other words, what we have is fine, in my opinion.
