The AK-47 is a good weapon for close distance engagement but is about as acurate as a Rosie O'dennel accounting of weaht she has said to her staff

300 yards is a tough shot for MOST people - ESP without a scope. I've done a lot of hunting in my past and I know how excited people get when they see a deer at 300 yards off, now try that with someone shooting back at you. STRESS through the roof - good luck keeping the gun steady. True some people can do it, but MOST cannot. and reality is you need to make a mass market gun for the majority - not the minority.
you have to be calm and not shaking at all to make that shot at 300 yards. - it's not a shot for an automatic weapon, it's really a shot for a bolt action sniper rifle with a telescopic sight.
without a telescopic sight at 300 yards VERY, and i mean VERY few people can place 5 rounds within 2 feet of each other. - including trained people, and that's under calm, non-life threatening conditions.
most soldiers that engage are in close combat under 50 yards in bad conditions though........ taking that under consideration, i can't belive the US still uses the M-!6 with it's combat history. Even in the most recent PUBLIC engagement - private lynch - guns were gamming. NOT GOOD.
