The effective range of an AK-47 assault rifle is as far as 273 yards, while an M16A2 rifle has a range of 400 meters.

In other words... "The effective range of an AK-47 assault rifle is as far as 273 yards 819 feet, while an M16A2 rifle has a range of 400 meters 1312 feet."

Where the hell are the editors to make sure the units are the same! Ugh. Do we have to do ALL the lifting these days?

Thank you. The minute I read or hear "meters" I get totally lost. They didn't make us learn that Euro-measurement stuff when I was in school, and now my youngest comes home with homework in that stuff and I can't help her with it.
