No doubt .308, 5.56, 7.62x54R are better rounds and you will have more stopping power and range, of course. What happens years down the road though when your stockpiles are running out, it's becoming next to impossible to scavenge for those rounds but 9mm is still plentiful.while a 9mm carbine can be fun to play with, in a true survival situation I would rather have a much more powerful round in a rifle platform. the effective range of 9mm in a rifle is only about 75 - 100 yards (if your lucky) before it loses its energy. the effectiveness compared to the weight of the rifle doesn't weigh out, just not worth the effort of the extra weight to have to carry..... its good to try to simplify things as much as possible, but when you need a rifle, a rifle is what you should have.....one that can hit from a loooong ways off....lol
Everyone wants to have an unlimited supply of bullets but .308 is expensive and 7.62x54r is getting harder and more expensive to find already. Just saying 9mm on a ak platform will be good for CQB self defense and hunting. very little recoil will be an advantage to accurate drilling of the target. Yes 9mm has more to be desired but also a longer barrel will result in even higher velocities.
