Is the AR/M4 the best platform for the average prepper to deal with a Shtf scenario? I say it's not.

Exactly. Unless you plan on being an active combatant in a unit of some kind which is going to be the lowest chance of happening, for 99% of your dealings with people during a "shtf" situation a reliable handgun and good situational awareness will be plenty (just like in day-to-day life).In my opinion it's depending on what you're prepping for.
I'm optimistic that unless there's a nuclear Armageddon, almost every other scenario will resolve in some sort of spontaneous order in fewer than a couple of months, especially in any significant collapse of the FedGov. In the interim security is essential, so a good rifle and shotgun is invaluable as well as a reliable sidearm.
Also, we're living where everyone else is going to be trying to bug out to, so that settles some issues like portability also.
I say it is. In a SHTF scenario, 5.56/223 will still be plentiful. National Guard Armory's are full of it.Is the AR/M4 the best platform for the average prepper to deal with a Shtf scenario? I say it's not.

Glock 19 great choice,everybody has 9mm ammo. as the 30-30 great gun as long as ammo is available. That being said I really don't see it readily available from a downed adversary's gun IMHOI was thinking that my best choice might wind up being my Marlin 30-30 and a Glock 19. jmho
The question begs opinions and options, nothing more.I must not be understanding the question then because I don't see why you wouldn't want an AR-15.
