interesting short video clip on discovery channel.

the ak-47 shooter can't hit a torso target at 200 yds , using a siting with support position ? what do you think ? is this bull**** ?

i never use a ak-47 or ak clone(semi-auto) before , can any ak-47 owners clear my doubts ?

Notice his trigger technique and you'll have your answer. The AK is more than capable of making reliable hits at that range.

I'll give you ~80% at 200 meters with my WASR10.
-Chest sized target, about rapid fire...

And I'm not anything special.

As was stated... it is the shooter INTENTIONALLY making the results.

I don't think that anyone here will argue that milsurp 7.62x39 (is there any other kind?) ammo is particularly accurate, or that AK iron sights are precise.

Although the testing methods the producers of that show employed opened it up to criticism, their underlying point was valid. As compared to an AR, the AK is not an accurate weapon

Exaggeration to prove an underlying point should never be acceptable. That shows bias and creates doubts in discerning viewers.

I wouldn't call it a test anyway, or use the phrase "testing methods". It's a demonstration, a poor one really.

Also it's "on average", where an AK is less accurate than an AR. Doesn't mean a custom built AK can't be more accurate than a mil-spec off-the-rack AR.
