True, but those who are inexperienced at firing an AK will be a danger to themselves will fire most of the rounds into the air!
Bit like me when I fired one in Vegas!
The Uzi on the other hand. What a bit of kit that is!
Amateurs on vacation, firing on auto, send most of their rounds into the air. The guys manning the range,
probably let you do it, for their amusement.
I can tell you how the reserves are being trained. Most of the ones I've seen interviewed, all say the same thing.
That they've had a week or two of weapons and very basic, small unit tactics training.
Even the latest recruits, just picking up weapons and trotting off to the front, will know the most basic concepts.
You almost never use full auto. All soldiers in contact, tend to aim high. No matter what weapon they have.
I would slap the **** out of recruits to emphasise my points. In this situation only, because you don't have the luxury of time. I would tell them that I'd shoot them myself, if I see them breaking the cardinal rules.
Like. Only aim at what you want to kill. Only put your finger on the trigger, when you want to fire a round.
After every engagement, clean your rifle before anything else. There's several others. Don't want to send everyone to sleep.
Recruits have to be more scared of their immediate leaders, than the enemy. Until they can do their skills and drills instinctively.
Single or three shot bursts are much easier to control. One in five / three rounds will be tracer, so you can see where your rounds are going, relative to the target.
The joy of the AK is ....it is simple. Simple to maintain. Simple to use. Children can and do use it. Do you think they complain about the recoil? Do you think that they very quickly learn to grip it, so that rounds aren't going into the stratosphere?
In a war like this. Where most of your 'army' are green volunteers. In every way that matters, the AK is the better choice of weapon. By a country mile.
