I disagree how many soldier do you see carrying two M4's I never carried two M4's.  That is why you have spare parts.

I say build a rifle to your needs and then when money allows begin the second.

How many people you gonna arm?

If the 2 M4s are reliable, go that way for arming 2 people. But, you can only shoot one at a time. So, one reliable AR is better than 2 questionable ARs any day.

If you are going solo, get a really good, reliable, chrome lined, weapon. Put a light, sturdy 1X red dot sight, and lots of ammo. That way when the guys who are in an organized group get you, they will get a good weapon off your body.

Spares are essential.  Having 2 is a force multiplier.  What is better to have, one TRAINED shooter or two?

I'd much rather have two quality AR's in a SHTF situation that one "tricked out" AR. Just make sure that you have to rock solid ARs and not two slapped together untested ones.


At least that way you can arm more than one person.

Get one good one; something that wont let you down.

You'll get less stupid answers to these kind of questions under "Outdoors / Survival Disscussions"
