12.7mm does it deserve the range?

We regularly hit targets out to 1000 meters with tripod-mounted 12,7mm NSV AAMG and plain iron sights. Targets were about the size of 3x4 meters though, and hitting infantry in those distances might require a zoom-optical sight and very short bursts. I was surprised by the NSV accuracy and ease of shooting at those ranges though.

However our marksman with a 7,62x53R sniper rifle still shot 5 air balloons with 5 shots at 800 meters.. so much for the NSV..
