I wonder why AK-47/AKM are not very accurate rifles? Why do they have a reduced efective range compared to more modern 5.56mm rifles despite the higher killing range of the 7.62x39mm?
Is it related to rifling and barrel twist? Due to inadapted ironsights? Or inherent to the bullet itself???
I used to fire both AKM and SKS... both are 7.62x39 and except some lucky shots, I can truly say that I wasn't able to hit anything voluntarily past 250 meters at target shooting with AK, but SKS always did good job at 300+ meters.
