first off its further than 300 meters try 500 meters on point target and 800m(iron sights) on an area target the only difference between the two in my opinion is roles what role do you want to play do you want to be fighting house to house with an ar15 maybe but more important do you want to be 500+ meters out with an ak when your enemy has an ar15 and its not that the aks arent designed to go the difference its that the round 7.62 is literally too heavy and just drops out of the sky and thats why they have a bad rap at longer distances. the conscripts werent untrained just poorly equiped for the role they were trying to pull off... watch videos from africa when this crazy drugged out mindwashed "freedom fighter" fills the air with led and next thing you know he is getting picked off from some crazy ass distance by a marine with his m-4/m-16 variant. how else do you think the delta force pertrade in black hawk down was able to hold off the malitia for so long.... they had a team each of them had their own role and knew the limits of their enemies and thats what made them bad asses not the weapons...
sry ive always hear 300m. and yes MOST conscripts and freedom fighters have limited if not no training. 7.62mm does in fact go further than .223. Heavier bullets go the farthest, Thats y most long range sniper rifles are large caliber weapons (.50, .408, .416, ect.) i know there are other factors in that but thats not the point. so 7.62x39 has the capability to go farther but it wont be very accurate. and Delta force did such a beast job @ black hawk down because they are elite and the militia were not properly trained. its like putting a MMA fighter against a middle school wrestler...
