Missing with an assault rifle (well, an AK maybe not, but missing with an AR/M16 is unacceptable) at less than 100 feet is a hard thing to do, let alone less than 100 yards! That is why it is an offensive weapon, not defensive such as a handgun.
Besides, if you want to use this rifle as a handgun, it can be employed somewhat reliably with one hand if need be, though that does get tiring after a while, and suffers from less accuracy.
Basically, everything about your situation is at an disadvantage. Not a good thing. Get yourself a rifle. You'll live longer! :p

If this... if that... well, if i got strapped down to the ground and can't move and the enemy knows where I am and have positioned a GPS beside my head and has called in an airstrike to hit that coordinate, then my situation is not rosy. But that is not the situation I was talking about. I was talking about opponents made of sunday-hunters armed with hunting guns in that kind of environment as to be seen in the video. And there i would consider a rifle for myself even a disadvantage, for the first shot would give away my position, while I have several enemies to face - not good. A mixture of stealth tactic and silent weapons would always be the option that I prefer in that situation. Just that a good bow in capable hands has a better range for precision fire than a silenced pistol, and also adds an extra psychological shock to the enemy, and with according arrowheads is more lethal than a silenced pistol.
You are right about surprise. But who said that surprise hasn't been part of my agenda from the first post on? Of course, if you have a bow, you would use different tactics than if you would have a rifle. i would use a rifle as a club as long as they are not aware of my exact location.
