striking fear from miles away...this thing has been killing people from 1-2miles away since it was made in the 50's/60's...then killing from a supposed 3miles away when they perfected it in the 70's...i'm a 556 guy coz it's so readily available in canada...but my heart belongs to 762...nothing works better (unless ur using the beowolf...then i give...after i see how the handler shoots, lol)...556 longest shot is 1.5 miles (pure luck)...longest 762 is 2.6miles...but a .50 long from a longbarrel AR, is deffo something to fear...i personally just like the loud 'putputputput" from an AK...rather than the 'tickticktick' from an AR
