I can't believe some here are suggesting in a close quarters situation they would pick a bolt action rifle, ANY bolt action rifle over a short barrel ar-15, your crazy if you think the bolt gun isn't outgunned. go play paintball with a pump action gun against guys with semi autos and get back to me. in that situation give me an AR or AK, SKS anything that fires semi auto, with a semi auto you can keep a guys head down while you move to better positions. try doing that with a bolt gun.
