An SKS is combat effective.Same round as an AK47,powerful enough to kill easily.

Yep.... it dents a half inch steel plate similar to an AR-15. An M1 goes right through the plate....

I’m not arguing that it is not lethal. However, the rifle itself is not “high powered.” Rather one of the cheapest rifles available today.

Yes. The SKS isn’t any less accurate or lethal than an AK47. It just has a very different magazine, trigger, and bolt design. I’m partial to the SKS-M/D models which accept AK magazines natively.

Not exactly.

IIRC - the SKS takes a 7.63x39 while the AK-47 is chambered for the 7.62x54 round.

The difference is how much powder is behind the round.
