I'd use my issue for familiarity sake for as long as practical. However, I would pick up one of the enemys weapons at the first opportunity so I would have a reserve weapon to go to when my issue rifles ammo supply gave out. But, I would also use an enemy rifle, I am thinking an RPK with a folding stock with 4 40 round mags and 3 75 round drums.
The system would have longer range and more firepower than a regular AK. And the weapon would not give my position away as readily as a 5.56 would. People would not be on their guard as much.
Further, at a longer distance your weapon is a means of identifing you, so behind enemy lines, they see a dude toting an RPK and they are going to think its one of them.
Further, ammo would not be a problem to aquire once you started to run low.
