The Galil Ace gives the strong impression of being a weapon that can be counted on in the direst of straits.
Yea as cool as a 9mm ak would be, I think a 9in ace gets my vote.
Honestly set up with folding arm brace, Trijicon MRO (or even RMR like in the above picture) and one of the surefire scout lights, that's a hard package to beat.
