"Fortification."

1. So the moral of the story is "If you dig a regular hole, the Russians will kill you. If you dig a hole, build a log cabin in it, and bury it, you will survive and PERKELE!!1! D8<"

2. What is with you people and still using 7.62x39mm? Is the Valmet sufficiently accurate to compete with rifles in more modern calibers? I know they have milled receivers and are very well-built , but they're still basically just AK-47s.

3. 6:11 - 6:42 :dowant:

The 7.62x39mm is perfectly fine. While the RK is mechanically similar to an AK47, it's nothing like it and is more than capable of competing with more modern designs and calibers. Most combat engagements in Finland generally take place within ranges of 200-300 meters and the RK has sight adjustments up to 600. It's very accurate all the way up to its maximum ranging settings. There's a saying in Finland that if a man can't hit a target with an RK, it's not due to the rifle.

It's because they're most likely a really shitty shot.

Huh. I know a good Yugo SKS can compete accuracy-wise with an AR-15 while simultaneously delivering a round with considerably more punch, but I'm surprised and impressed that anyone could crank 600-meter accuracy out of a Kalashnikov-based design, since the traditional Soviet-style stamped-receiver design typically isn't reliably accurate beyond 300 meters or so.

You don't, it's effective range is 600, so sight apertures are built to the possible max, just like the AR platforms 5.56x45 with an effective range of 800. Doesn't mean any bullet is accurate to that range, there is simply enough energy to penetrate a soft target. Anything beyond 300 has negligible accuracy outside a bolt action with an effective barrel length.

Ron, how long would it take for a fortification like this to be built?

With the equipment in the video?

Two days at most, at a lazy pace. If you're at it for most of the day? A day at most. Depends on the fortifications being built. The most work goes into building the logged trenches, but if you get those pre-built ones it can take less than an hour if you really go at it. Maybe more, maybe less.
