There is a reason the fire selectors are set to go from Safe to Auto to Semi
Auto...

In the hands of a "Marksman" it is relatively accurate out to around 350m
(according to an ex-Czech Paratrooper associate of mine). But in the hands
of your average conscript, I bet it would be around 200m at best.
