What is the “Glock 19” of other firearm types?

[richthe1]

What are the most reliable, trust-with-your-life firearms out there? From what I’ve read it sounds like these would be some of the top contenders:

Handgun: Glock 19

AR-15: Lewis Machine and Tool CQB, Knights Armament Company SR-15 Mod 3

AK-47: WASR-10, Arsenal SAM7

Shotgun: Benelli M2, Benelli M4

Precision Rifle: Accuracy International AX/AXMC/AXSR, Barrett MRAD
