You need to double up here. Just push and laugh when you suck out on someone with AK.

Agree that you need to double up here. But your advice is precisely what everyone else at this table is thinking.

Is there no consideration for letting everyone else battle it out first? I think we'd all agree that we'd prefer to take a coinflip when it's 4 handed, rather than 7 handed. IMO, this is the general dynamics of a table when the table is this deep in players all short-stacked relative to the blinds. You'll be surprised how a small stack will have FE against the middle stack at this stage. They are thinking about survival. I'm more worried about the other shorties calling with similar garbage. Let two other schmoes fight it out. Hopefully, your coinflip will be when it's 4 or 5 handed. Where you can go on a pushing spreee.

Furthermore, you have 9 hands (assuming no one goes out, lol) before your second set of blinds hit you. You will find a solid hand to push (or call, yes call) with in those 9 hands. You just need to survive here, not take over the chip lead. You accumulate chips when it's 4 handed, not 7 handed.
