One quick note: if you are one of the lucky guys that has a standard M1A that shoots 1MoA, I would recommend you unlatch the trigger guard when you're not shooting to keep the wood from compressing over time.
i guess in modern combat people dont aim anymore, in this case a gun with light ammo and a high rate of fire wins.
s an assault rifle or front line battle rifle the M14 is a big failure. Its just uncontrollable for most people on full auto fire. Thats why it never last. They put in a big round and forced it on the whole of nato and that doomed what could have been a good rifle design, that was lighter and more compact and could go with say a 6.5-7mm round for controllable fire.
The Dragunov is more of a full length rifle chambered for the 7.62x54R rifle cartridge. It isn't as accurate as the M14, but as stated above, you go with what you've got. Its a way to extend the reach of a squad.colt.45 said:clean. i fail to see your logic. the Dragunov is just an ak with a longer barrel and a (i use this term lightly) target style stock.

I'll wager tht they haven't been in any battlefield gunfights. And so what? The odds of any civillian getting into a protracted gun battle are virtually nil.And how many firefights have you two been in?
All of this precision-shooting that one can aspire to so well on the range goes right out the window when you have 7.62mm raining in at a rate of one-thousand rounds per minute.
Everyone please do some reading and try to understand the concepts of suppression and bases of fire.
I was surprised when I was shot at that I actually had very little idea where it was coming from. I couldn't see the enemy. I knew about where they were, however. Do you expect me to sit and wait until I can identify one enemy shooter, then line up on him and squeeze off one round, like on the range? Nonsense..
