Give me a Glock and a shotgun and I’ll deal with a civilian model AK. This writers ignorance shouldn’t be as stunning as it is.
You can take out a target from 600 yards easy with an AK, even a Chinese Norinco.
Especially if you have a milled receiver, then 900-yards with decent ammo is possible.
I'm convinced media people like Roland attend an employer- required course at the Brady Institute for Indoctrination in Firearm Ignorance and Disinformation.
The difference between semi-automatic civilian models of so-called "assault weapons" and their fully-automatic military versions should be obvious to everyone by now. But liberals from Dianne Feinstein to our "guardians" in the media have worked overtime to confuse the issue. Even conservatives on this site often accept the wildly incorect name "assault rifle" for de-fanged AR-15s and AK's. They are ugly guns, NOT assault rifles.
