I also remember being told one of the famous Russian women snipers visited Benning and they let her shoot a match rifle and surprisingly she was not that good of a shot. I forget her name but I remember I had heard it before years ago.
Lysander, see if you can find early acceptance specs for the short barrel rifles. I remember asking figuring they were going to be relaxed and was told it was still 4.5" and then about I think it was 90s they had relaxed the dispersion requirements for the M855Ammo so they could get more accepted since we were on 386 status.
I do a good bit of AK bashing here, but if I drop the hyperbole that I use to paint the M4 as a vastly superior weapon, I must admit that the AK, even in 7.62x39 is a perfectly serviceable weapon. There’s a saying: the M4 is more reliable than you might think, and the AK is more accurate than you might think. Most are capable of accuracy that an army would find acceptable.
