I didnt re-read either, but thats basically what I learned today the AK is accurate enough for battle. I mostly used cheap bulk Ukranian ammo and at 50yds it held the same as I can hold with an AR, both with open sights.I didn't go back in time to re-read the post. Real world results say AKs are accurate enough.
the fun part today was learning what the "battle zero" was on the AK, the little letter code setting on the rear sight blade... basically the Soviets train to aim for the stomach instead of COM (chest) when battle zero is selected you can set it and forget it for all engagements out to 300m worst case you'll hit COM.
