And this is exactly why I made this thread, because these dumb fudd myths keep persisting. You're also wrong about bullet drop being a huge issue, it's actually a benefit in a lot of cases because you can fire around the curve of obstacles and thereby protect yourself from direct fire.
3 Reasons Why You Can't Hit Shit with Your AK
I'll TL;DR you by saying: Suppressed fire is aimed fire. A lot of people forget this, and although both of those rounds can reach maximum ranges in 500+ meters, the fact of the matter is that 5.56x45 has too little momentum to fly straight (even at shorter distances, often, especially if you're using less than 20") and 7.62x39 rapidly destabilises as it goes transsonic. That means neither one can reliably hit point of aim past those distances anyway, and good external ballistics are unlikely with either as well. As you said, a machine gun can be a slight benefit, but it's not like an M249 or an RPD is a magic wand. They still wind up with bullets drifting or landing sideways.
I guess that's not really a TL;DR. I suck dicks.

Volley and indirect fire requires more knowledge of the gun than the fudds and underages being talked about, Strelok. Someone who can't shoot at 100 meters because of muh drop certainly won't be able to visualise a target past the horizon or over cover. This is precisely why 9x39mm is such a great long distance cartridge, though, it uses extremely high momentum to take advantage of its rainbow trajectory. I should have updated the thread before making my last post.
If he can demonstrate it with a gun that is a bit difficult (mostly due to its irons) to hit with at that range, then it will work for 99% of all combat rifles.
I'm sure there's more rifles worse than AK, especially his AK.
Why bother. Riley Defense makes ak's in the US.
Went to a gun show on the 19th, saw this. Held it. Lightest ak you will ever hold. Only beef is the one they were selling had a weak safety. Otherwise I'd probably be holding it rn.
