Part of the point was, if you get closer, accuracy (in terms of absolute miss distance) improves. When you are attacking, you fire gets more effective with the AK as you approach your objective.

Soviets emphasized offensive action in battle, and didn’t mind friendly casualties all that much. (lost 14.5 million military deaths in WWII, that includes over a million 2nd lieutenants)

I am familiar with stories of the Soviets running the Germans out of ammunition by using human waves to attack German positions. Horrible loss of life on the Soviet side, but that was Stalin.
