In excess of a mile.
The maximum effective range of an AK-47 is typically around 300 to 400 meters for accurate fire. However, it can reach a maximum range of approximately 1,000 meters. The rifle is designed for combat situations, so its optimal performance is usually within closer distances.
Maximum total range, 2300 meters. Max lethal range, 1500 meters. Max EFFECTIVE range- 350 meters
The A&K SVD Sniper Rifle (Dragunov) is a Soviet rifle that was introduced in 1958 and accepted in the military on 1969. It is an adaptation of the AK-47 which was made to accurately keep troops at 650 meters. The Dragunov is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x54Rmm. The maximum effective range of the Dragunov is 850 meters while the maximum range is 1,300 meters with scope. The Dragunov was designed by Evgeny Dragunov.
400 meters
No, a sniper cannot accurately shoot 47 miles away. The maximum effective range for most sniper rifles is typically around 1,200 to 2,500 yards (approximately 0.7 to 1.4 miles), depending on the caliber and conditions. Factors such as bullet drop, wind, and atmospheric conditions significantly affect long-range shooting, making 47 miles impractical for any conventional sniper rifle. Advanced technology, such as guided munitions, would be required for such extreme distances.
One of the best options for shooting an AR-15 or AK-47 in the Northeast is the Westchester County Firearms Range in New York, which offers rental options and has outdoor ranges suitable for long-distance shooting. Another great choice is the Connecticut Sportsman’s Club, which features a 100-yard range and allows for rifle rentals. Always check in advance for availability and rental policies, as they can vary.
The AK-47 have a very powerful cartridge. But it's accuracy is not bad at all. AK-47 have the Max. Effective range of 437 yrds. (400m). The effective range of a normal person shooting this gun is about 300 yrds. I hope that helps you....
~400 meters effective range (Lethal and predictive) ~900 meters Firing range ( CAN be lethal from 400 to 900 m) ~2000 meters maximum range (maximum range the bullet can travel away - fired in a 45 degree angle)
Assault rifle.
The effective range of an AK-47 bullet, typically a 7.62x39mm cartridge, is about 400 meters (approximately 437 yards) for accurate shooting. However, the maximum range can extend up to 2,000 meters (about 2,187 yards) under ideal conditions, though accuracy diminishes significantly beyond the effective range. At distances beyond 400 meters, the likelihood of hitting a target decreases due to bullet drop and wind drift.
It isn't legal in the U.S. for a child to own a gun, but it is legal for a child to possess a gun under certain circumstances such as hunting, shooting at the shooting range, etc.
Adopted in 1947.
