The AK-47 (7.62x39 Russian) round is a low-power round. It will make anybody unhappy, but it doesn't penetrate well against anything tougher than human. It's more of a beefed up SMG round than a real rifle round, as it ist replacement (5.45mm in the AK-74 and siblings).
If that had been 7.62x54R from a Russian Battle Rifle on the other hand, Don McCullin would officially be having a bad day. -Adam P. J. Alling wrote: > It could have been nearly spent.
