NedPepper 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 (edited) What would you say would qualify as the average distance for a modern combat rifle engagement? 200yards? 100? 75? Anyone have any modern stats? Seems more and more battles are urban and I'm wondering at what distance is the average engagement.

bone 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 my guess for "urban area" combat would be somewhere between 10 feet (structure sweeps) and a city block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

allocine 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I am living in France, and I have heard about saiga rifle 2 weeks ago only. here the saiga 410 costs about 300$, but I do not know for the saiga 12. I would like to buy next month a saiga 12, but here, this rifle does not look like an AK rifle :-( (no pistol grip) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
