Typically,
Insurgents in Iraq have AK-47s.
American soldiers have M4A1s (like M16 but more compact and with auto fire mode).
Say,
You stood two fully trained, professional Special Forces troops (lets say SAS) up on a firing range.
600 metres downrange there are two real men, both in kevlar-149 jackets and kevlar helmets and combat gear and all.
The SAS guy with the M4A1 sets his sights to 600 metres, puts his fire mode to single, and lies down and takes a shot at the face of one of the targets.
The other SAS guy with the AK-47 does the same against the second target. (except hes using an AK-47).
How effective in hitting the target (the face of the enemies downrange) would the AK-47 and M4A1 be?
And if they differ in accuracy and effectiveness, why?
And if they both manage to kill the targets in one shot, then why is it so difficult for Iraqi insurgents to do the same?
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!
