My militia weapon is also a M1A1, although I have others. Mine is old fashioned wood ... :-)
SKS and AR-15.
If I knew how to post pictures on here, I would gladly post one of my Armalite AR-10. She’s a beaut and packs one helluva’ whollop! Funny thing is, the anti-gun nuts think it is more lethal than my 8mm Mauser or Mosin Nagant just because it has a larger magazine...anti-gun morons! A shot from ANY of them would be EQUALLY lethal...
We're damned lucky the Germans weren't able to crank out 500,000 of them. If Hitler hadn't been so recalcitrant and allowed full production of them earlier, the outcome of WWII might have been a bit different.

A primary use of the MP44/StG44 was to counter the Soviet PPS and PPSh submachine guns, which used a 7.62x25mm Tokarev round. These cheap mass-produced weapons used a 71-round drum magazine or 35-round "box" magazine and though shorter-ranged than the Kar98k rifle were more effective weapons in close quarter combat. PPSh Submachine guns were extremely widespread, and issued on a far larger scale; some Soviet rifle companies were completely equipped with PPSh-41 submachine guns.
The StG44, while also lacking the range of the Kar98k, had a longer range than the PPS/PPSh submachine guns and a comparable rate of fire. Also, while they could fire fully automatic, they were designed to default to semi-auto fire. They were surprisingly accurate, and their slow rate of fire gave them controllability even on full-auto. While the design details are quite different, the concept of the StG44 was obviously carried on in the most famous and most numerously manufactured assault rifle, the AK-47.
By the end of the war, some 425,977 StG44 variants of all types were produced. The assault rifle proved a valuable weapon, especially on the Eastern front, where it was first deployed. A properly trained soldier with an StG44 had an improved tactical repertoire, in that he could effectively engage targets at longer ranges than with an MP40, but be much more useful than the Kar98k in close combat, as well as provide light cover fire like a light machine gun.
I want an M1A1
and a FN P90 
For ‘mouse gun’ enthusiasts tired of the temperamental, even fastidious, maintenence requirements of direct impingement guns such as the AR15, I have a suggestion.
Consider the Daewoo DR200 in .223/5.56mm. It has the upper/lower construction of the AR and the gas system of the AK74.
For a reliable gun, suitable for enemies over three feet tall, consider the Daewoo DR300 in 7.62X39.
Unfortunately, the Pentagon didn’t.
Technically, not an assault rifle "clone", since it does not fire an "intermediate power" cartridge. Instead, it's a follow-on to Garand's 1920s design for a 1906 cartriddge.
It's more fun to shoot than the M-14 I remember from my Army days, although the ammo still weighs a ton. The 16-inch barrel and electronic sights make it fast, accurate, and pleasant to shoot, as long as you remember to bring hearing protection.
Bushmaster a3 is my gun.
