        If you have whole a lot of money for hobbies that's a cool sort of gun. If you need like, A Gun, just get an AR-15 in 556. They're very well supported in the US. By far the easiest to get/swap parts for, ammo for, repairs, etc. They are like legos.

        AKs in 7.62x39 are also sort of all over the place, so they're fairly easy to deal with logistically. Just not as much as the AR, and they're harder to customize. And they used to be pretty cheap but the prices went up quite a bit after the Russia sanctions and the pandemic.

        keep it practical, AR-15 and/or reliable polymer striker-fired pistol

        AKs are cool but in the US you will just find so many AR parts and such for cheap it makes it more practical
