You’re talking’ a little over my head. May you shoot that way, too!
The most fun I ever had with an AK was an “RPK” in Iraq in the time you were there. Just about a 200 yard range. Very adjustable...
The best part was I did OK on it right off the bat!
A much better rifle than any AK I have fired or seen since.
One rifle? One life? One war, wherever? With all the requisite ammo,
to kill or be killed?
I think I’ll take a Lee-Enfield SMLE or my scoped Ruger 30-06 II over anything...

I’ve always been fascinated by the RPK and particularly the PKM’s simplicity and reliability. The POLs would use them in the lead vehicles of their convoys. Whenever traffic was encountered they’d let off a burst to keep things moving. That was fine until we’d hear similar bursts coming from L and R of the convoy. That was good for a LOL -after the fact. Shia areas so no worries.
