Then you should have made it obvious what the "point" of this thread is beyond a teenager's "dream gun" - or whatever the point actually IS.

The point is, sometimes people are presented with the question of if they were on the proverbial desert island what one thing of a certain sort would they want? For instance, if a person is all alone on a desert island and could only have one type of candy, what type of candy would they want? Or if a person could have only one XBox or Playstation game, what would it be? Im asking what kind of gun a person would want.

Can I bring Amber Lynn instead?

You stand less chance of drowning if you swam from the island back to the US mainland. After that it's all about being eaten by crabs... Amber crabs or ocean crabs.

Do we get bullets for the gun?

I would go the archery route and take a spear gun. Bolts can be made from bamboo. It is quiet and can be used under water as well.

Ding Ding Ding! Winna

quiet, useful for fishies and wombats, make your own ammo, etc.

AK

My primary focus on a deserted island will be hunting to feed myself.

I want something semi-auto and with a good balance of range, accuracy and reliability to kill me some food.

AR a close runner up. Probably a hair better on accuracy, but without it stated I have means to clean/lube it, I'll go AK with reliability for the win.

Not terrible for self-defense either, should it be necessary.

Except your point really needs an application.

Ex; if you had to drive the autobahn every day for the rest of your life, what car would you want.

On a desert island, the items you mentioned don't fit the application, which is why I answered with what would fit my needs.
