First things first, the AK-P is NOT a good firearm for indoor shooting. It was seriously loud.
My range notes are below:
- First time shooting a pistol in 7.62×39.
- Oh man. The bang is LOUD and BRIGHT (my range is an indoor range).
- I shot 3 different types of mags (two metal imports and one 10-round Magpul). There were no issues.
- The gun got hot but was still manageable. I shot all the rounds standing up, but I did change my grip from handguard to mag (mag grip was better).
- I recorded but the footage was corrupt when I got home and checked it. 🙁 WTF Polaroid…this isn’t the first time this has happened. All the more reason to visit the range again soon.
- I should think about shooting this outside. It is super loud (I’m not exaggerating). I’ve no doubt it was pissing off the guys next to me.
- I was mainly hitting upper left (I usually hit low left), but was hitting bulls-eye at the beginning…I think I got fatigued toward the end of the 1-hour session.
- All ammo was RSA FMJBT 7.62×39.
- Also, note that I didn’t zero the firearm, but it shot well enough (I hit the bulls-eye several times when firing the first mag).
What ticked me off was the camera not working. That’s inexcusable, IMO. It recorded but the footage corrupted. I may need to get something that’s more dependable.
I plan to go again tomorrow in an attempt to capture footage again.
