You asked Glock Rocks to demonstrate how an AR 15 would be more useful than a scoped .30-06 and a 13 guage in the event of foreign invasion. Well I can not say it would be more useful for you but I can say that for many it would be a more useful rifle because of the light weight of 200 rounds as a carry load, the rapid rate of fire with the AR 15. The ability to generate some suppressive fire and the availablity of replensih ment from military stocks.

Similar considerations might apply to others. Within an Eastern urban or sububrab envirornment it is probably the ideal rifle for an infantry carry. The ranges are not long. The penetration is sufficient to deal with some body armor unlike the shotgun and it is accurate. If you prefer the .30-06 it is hardly reasonable to criticse that choice but others may have different needs.

OTOH, if the main enemy is the type who wears pinstripes, the 30-06 bolt gun could prove very useful.
