The fact that it is illegal doesn't mean accurate information shouldn't be cherished, or one shouldn't have accurate facts on legalities, loopholes or even potential illegalities. Everything is not for fun, especially for thinking people. If you still don't understand that then you are truly ignorant

GBTYO:


A shotgun having more effective range than an assault rifle?

An AK has an effective range of 800m. That means it can kill you at 800m.

Shotgun is meant for close quarters and has a much lower effective range.

Other than buck shots, cartridge shells have very limited damage from 20yards.

Guy delete this nonsense now.

This write up is a fascinating work of fiction that is totally incorrect, from the standpoint of ballistic reality. Clearly the writer of this factually erroneous description has never owned a real gun in his life, but hopes to impress similarly unenlightened readers by baffling them with bullchit accumulated from playing video games and watching old war movies.

A pump action SHOTGUN unleashes a horrific flesh-mangling blast at point-blank ranges within 20 yards, BUT, those pellets only possess a MAXIMUM lethal range of 50 yards at best. Any target beyond 50 yards that is hit by shotgun pellets has a very good chance of escaping with small pellet wounds, and at ranges beyond 100 yards, shotgun pellets may not even retain sufficient energy to penetrate clothing. As a hunter who has used a pump action shotgun to down quarry ranging from fast-flying birds to sprinting deer, I happen to know what I am talking about, from personal experience over many, many years.

A rifle projectile, on the other hand, is capable of blasting gaping holes in flesh, and shattering bone, all the way out to 1 kilometer downrange, depending on the caliber of the projectile fired. The venerable AK47, chambered with the 7.62x39mm cartridge, is a devastating weapon capable of precision fire out to ranges in the region of 80 yards, beyond which accuracy drops off significantly, unless of course the rifle is fitted with a telescopic sight that improves accuracy, such that 200 yard shots can be attempted by steady-handed shooters. My .308 caliber deer rifle, fitted with a high magnification telescopic sight, will make clean deer kills well out beyond 350 yards, when fired from a stable resting position.

Having thoroughly tested the accuracy of an AK47 rifle at the firing range where many crates of ammo were expended at paper targets, I can lay claim to a very deep familiarity with the AK, going beyond mere shooting, and into the realm of complete disassembly and reassembly, which I perform blindfolded with ease, meaning that my observations about this weapon ALSO derive from EXTENSIVE hands-on experience, and not wild, uninformed speculation.

Before taking to the internet to make outlandish claims about subjects one does not truly understand, it would be prudent to bear in mind that not everyone in the targeted audience is guaranteed to be as profoundly ignorant as the pontificating writer.

Now biafra is under carpet.....I pity u guys

planetx:
Only someone that doesn't know the amount of damage done in a country like the US where almost every Tom dick and harry owns a gun will be advocating that sort of madness in Nigeria. I see people exchanging hot words on the streets of Lagos on a daily basis and you want to put firearms in that equation ? All we need is to empower the police and make them effective, American gun culture is nothing to emulate.

claremont:


This is incorrect. There is no military school that teaches people that the accuracy of the AK-47 is 100 yards, neither can the shotgun be effective for 300-400 yards like you said. I don't think you know anything about weapons, I'm keen to know where you read up these statistics from?

yjgm:

AK47 effective range is 400m not 100 pls. Correct that assertion

Africanpride123:
Members let us not digress...this personasked a pertinent question in view of the ssecurity situation in the countrynnow. My take; do not ttryrtobe more honest than even the law makers, look for any contact with security agents especially police. You can get a semi-autimatic pump action rifle between 100 to 200k. With license.

Better have, use it to save tour life in case of an issue at home, and then spend a few thousands to sort yourself out with the police later when u have scared away the robbers /herdsmen, than not own it and witness a near death embarasment in the hands of robbers at home.

The earlier the better!

already own a double barrel and Dane gun... but the way things are going I need to be more sophisticated and always on alert and look out for Fulani murderers... don't want to be taken unaware, please is there a way to lay my hands on AK47

Pylony:
so one have to be a hunter to own fire-arm?

Kaycee625:

Lies!!! Ak 47 effective range is 200m, maximum range is 500m
Tavour has effective range of 1km,maximum range 1.5km,dats the new guns the military is using against boko haram

papaejima1:

A pump action Remington gun can shoot pellets up to 400 yards bro depending on the size of shot! I don't know where you guys read your own stuff!
I never said its accuracy is 400 yards.
And I also never said the maximum range of the AK is 100 yards. Maybe if you guys left the textbook and entered real life and real combat then you'd know the AK isn't designed for accuracy and also that it is quite difficult for an insurgent shooting an AK under battle conditions to maintain accuracy beyond 100yrds!
I am well versed with the text book version of the effective and max ranges, bench rest accuracy blah blah blah, but like the GIs used to say, Iraqis firing the AK couldn't hit the broadside of a barn!
Maybe you should see these links and listen to real life users and not textbook users.

A47 is overrated, I'd pick AR15 simi automatic riffle or tavor x95 than that heavy and ugly ak47.


AR15 has maximum effective range of 3600m or 3.6km
And 30% more accurate than useless AK47.

claremont:


Do you know what you are saying?!

Thisnut:
this is not google search, i have one myself bro. AR15 is a beast . it's is a civilian version of M4 which is the US military riffle

claremont:


You are saying that the effective range is 3.6km?! The M4 hasn't got an effective range of even 1km, which is why I asked if you know what you are saying?! In a previous life, I was in the military, so I should know a bit of this really.

Thisnut:
sleep of mind bro.
i mean Maximum range, not Maximum effective range.

Maximum Effective Range (Point Target 500 meters
Maximum Effective Range (Area Targets) 600 meters
Maximum Range 3600 meters
