the ak has been reduced to a novelty gun with the extinction of $300 wasr rifles and $100 spam cans. shotguns can still be had for as low as $200 and be extremely reliable (barring turkshits)
In many ways an AK tries to fill the same role as an AR, but with the exact opposite design philosophy on just about everything, sort of like using a hammer and nails, instead of a screw driver and screws. The end result is similar, but they get there in entirely different ways. Comparatively a Shotgun is an entirely different tool, for this analogy lets compare it to an impact wrench, while it has some overlap in use, it also has many of its own unique uses.

Shotgun then AK. Mossberg works best imo.

Another AR
Ruthless4u@reddit
Why?
1 is more than enough.
AD3PDX@reddit
Here is someone else explaining his reasoning for a similar perspective. My reasons largely overlap.

I agree with you, but good luck getting that through to some of these people lol

Shotgun all day.

Unless you have a good optic, suppressor, sling, 2k+ of ammo, a bunch of mags, and a case/range bag, I wouldn’t bother with a second.
If you have all that, then a pistol you carry concealed.

Concealed carry getting squared away for daily use > All that for a rifle that sits in a closet
itsmyfakeone@reddit
I agree 1000%, but also prefer to finish one thing before starting the next otherwise my brain goes haywire.

Shotgun. 12 gauge. Buckshot for home defense, slug for when your neighbor gets frisky.
BeanFiend96@reddit
12G Shotgun choose a side Remington 870 or mossberg 590 maybe a cheeky benelli m4 & then AK when you can afford a nice one.
il1k3c3r34l@reddit
Something to consider - the 590 has very limited barrel options and they don’t interchange with 500 barrels unless you also change the magazine tube.
If you want a home defense gun a 590 is great. If you want a home defense gun that can also take a slug/turkey/goose barrel get a 500.

A300 Ultima Patrol or 1301 😈

Hell in a pinch even a Stoeger M3000

I have to tend to agree, I am glad I bought my WASR 10/63 back when I could get it already kitted out used for under $600 around 15 years ago.
snippysniper@reddit
Yea no cheap and abundant 7.62/5.45 has really killed my desire to get a krink
Sensitive_Box_@reddit
Unfortunately, me too.

Shotgun. It's the most versatile of all weapons. An AK is just more of the same style as your AR.

No other fire arm can be used to hunt everything from Quail to Polar Bears
