Well in reality I can hit a 300 meter target with my M-16 using ironsights (On a good day and the target is stationary. Admitted, it's pretty hard.) Yet in the game I don't even try to hit a 300 meter target with ironsights unless I'm just trying to scare them. I think the Ak is fine for now. It's not so much the accuracy of the weapon it's the fact that Americans have scopes and Insurgents/Taliban don't. An AK should still be able to hit a target out to 150 meters atleast. The Taliban arn't the insurgents of Iraq. They know how to use their weapons and fire the Ak-47 accurately. Unlike insurgents they actually aim and fire on semi-auto. I think decreasing the accuracy would lead to it being more unrealistic.
