This was funny to read i must say, and i totally agree with your way of thinking. There is too much that people does not take in concern when they say that they would do this or that. To have AK-47 in that day and age would be really good, but as he said, they don't need firearm to kill you. So i suggest that you take T-90 with a lot of fuel, so that no one could kill you in your sleep XD .
LOL.... You are right. AK-47 will be of no use in the jungle. I'd rather take a T-90. But it will be extremely difficult to fight alone. Do you want to join me? If I become the emperor, then I promise that I'll make you the Prime Minister.

I must say that your proposal is really interesting, but i would have to decline it. Because if i could go back in time i would not go to South America. If i could chose where i would go, well that is hard question, because there are lots of things i want to see. For example japan in Samurai period. But as some guy said before, i think we would not live long enough

. If i could not chose, than i would go with you and T-90
