New Russian OOB (or SPR OOB)

[Suhiir]

Let me try it this way.

The AK-47 has a maximum range of 2,653m according to one source I found.
However its maximum EFFECTIVE range is 3-400m.

As DRG has said, the maximum range of a weapon has very little to do with it's maximum effective range.

This has also been an ongoing "issue" with my USMC OOB rebuild.
According to the US Army official manual the max effective range of the M16A1 was 460m. In practice however they considered it to be about 300m.
Meanwhile the USMC continued to require each and every Marine to fire (and pass) a qualification course that required them to hit a man-size target at 500m.

So who's "right" ?
The book?
The Army standard practice?
The USMC standard practice?
