ak pistol capable of hitting a target over a mile away

kwikrnu · Nov 20, 2010

I learn new things every day. Did you know that 7.62x39mm ammunition, made by winchester and sold by Walmart, is high powered rifle ammunition and is capable of hitting a target at over a mile away when shot from an ak pistol with an 11.5 inch barrel?

I guess the AK pistol wins the ar v ak battle.

Cite coming March 2011.

No, an aircraft carrier. A .22 long rifle has an effective range of.....you guessed it, one mile. Whatever effective range means.

There is no way a .22lr has an effective range of one mile. Maybe a range of one mile, but not definately not effective. If you do not agree please provide evidence that a target can be effectively engaged at that distance. Effective probably means the bullet has some type of effect on the target. In this case the effect should be one of being able to wound or kill.

Haven't looked in a while, but that's what it used to say on every box of .22LR I bought.

Because the Tennessee government does not recognize the Second Amendment Right to bear arms.

You realize you are arguing with a signature?

Seems they go by Tennessee's constitution which states they can "regulate the wearing of arms" in section 26.

It was decided in 1871 by the Tennessee Supreme Court, in Andrews v State, that regulation is not prohibition. By prohibiting me from carrying a loaded handgun in public they do not recognize the Second Amendment.

Yes, a signature often reflects a personal feeling of the poster. I was just responding to her dumb assed signature.

"effective" means that if someone fires the 22 at just the right angle and the bullet travels one mile and comes down and strikes you in the eye that you could shoot yer eye out kid!

Which is what I said. Now, were you targeting the eye, or was it a random shot?

Someone posted videos of accurate shots from over a mile. I do not recall the caliber.
