I'm not sure how it could be bumped out of zero by accident, but I've never played with a well used set of A2 sights. I could see the A2 windage knob being somewhat of a fidget spinner for bored soldiers.
I do like A1 rear sights because once they are set they can't be adjusted without something to depress the detent and they are perfectly fine for the distance I'd likely be willing to shoot iron sights, which is inside of 200 yards for the most part.
Get your zero on a no wind day and simply mark it with a paint pencil. That way you can make windage changes and come back to zero.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
