The term Maximum Effective Range is used to distinguish between Maximum Range (how far a bullet will travel) and the greatestusable range. Maximum Effective range is defined as the greatest distance at which a weapon may be expected to fire accurately to inflict casualties or damage. While cartridges have an approximate range, the true effective range is determined by both the cartridge, and the weapon that fires it. The two most common firearms in 7.62x39 are the SKS Carbine, and the AK-47. While both fire the same cartridge, the SKS has a barrel that is about 6 inches longer, Thus the SKS will have a longer max. range, and a longer max effective range- about 400 meters.
