Is there any purpose to using an AK's rear sight like this?From this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCdrRs10gd4He's not the only guy doing it BTW.
no/thread
people don't know it but this is how we ran them sights back in the days on 47s. the rifle would be zeroed for MPBR. I served in the soviet afghani wars.
It turns up the power on the gun. No joke. That’s the answer. They don’t know what sights are.

>>64420126I'm familiar with that old greentext but this one's a bit weirder because it doesn't correspond to higher numbers, it actually looks like his sight is at the lowest setting.
>>64420110>Anti Aircraft/Artillery aimingIn reality, it's just >>64420126
>>64420110this was the only film they've ever seenhttps://youtu.be/owbRgx-Skzk?t=224
>>64420110Barrel mounted grenades are more popular in the 60's and 70's, especially in African conflict. They kept building them that way because they're retarded. You're welcome.
>>64420284Retard here. How do you make sure the rifle bullet does not go through and activate the rifle grenade explosive?
>>64420592theres the kind that requires blanks and theres the kind thats ok to shoot with a bullet trap built into it
He either>Thinks the higher the sight the more power>Thinks it works like the DSHK that he saw on a truck onceYou also see guys just popping around a corner lazily sending off rounds. I doubt anyone actually is directly aiming at anyone.
>>64420592They have a bullet trap that catches the bullet. It's a really weird concept, but seeing them in action is really interesting.
>>64420284Doesn’t the front trunnion need to be reenforced for those grenades? Or is that some fudd bs
>>64420592back in WW2, you actually just couldntyou had to switch to blanks before loading the rifle grenade or else on a tangential note: since the grenade is so much larger than a bullet, it produces noticeably more kickwhich is why you sometimes had to plant the butt of the rifle on the ground to brace it before firing
>>64420126>people still believe this
>>64420110>not a single LETS GOOOOOO shouted like the nigeriansNo wonder the rebels lost.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8IMS21avuY
>>64420110Anything over ~500m is just semi-accurate suppression, you might get lucky beyond that but it is luck.>>64420170Wut? The higher the rear site the longer the range.
>>64420938He is referencing picrel, I don't know if the belief that the higher the number the more power you get is an actual thing, but you can clearly see that they do it.>>64420747As you can see they were still doing it 10 years ago, and considering Africa they're probably still doing it.
>>64420938If the sight was in the correct position, the elevation adjustment is at the lowest setting.
>>64420953I know what he's refering too, in OPs pic is it set to max "power".
>>64420695No.Fun fact, the A2 birdcage on M16s and M4s is sized to complay with NATO standard 22mm rifle grenades.
>>64420110Maybe they like the clearer sight picture but don't realize you have to align the rear sight with the front.
>>64420747>people still believe this historically supported storyYes. My grandfather saw similar in Vietnam amongst dead VC.
>>64420126
>>64420705Wrong. The bullet pushes the grenade forward, negating any recoil
>>64421436Only with the shoulder thing that goes up
>>64420110I love the lazily holding the gun high above your head and shooting sideways tactic , I saw it in a video of conflict in Mali as well
>>64421013actually, in OP's pic, it's on the lowest setting and pushed out of it's proper position.it's an AK, not a flintlock rifle.
