OOPS! Those were the measurements before the canoeing accident.
Well to each his own but our AK 74 will shoot a 1 inch pattern at 100 yards and a 1.5 inch at 200 yards. We put a holographic sight on it which is better for me. I have claimed it as it’s light enough for me to handle. We also got an incredibly good deal on it.
My fiacee’s Busmaster M-4 will do the same thing and shoot out to 600 meters. But his has the match grade barrel and trigger.
The Mini’s are popular. In the final analysis any weapon is better than no weapon. :)
