One would have to ask....

Prior to our receipt of the Sigs, we furnished our own rifles. Chief's trunk monkey is an Armalite 20" HBAR (damn nice rifle) and mine is a WASR 10/63, 7.62x39 with a with a 16" barrel. After our 100 yard stage we each had 3 rounds left. Just for grins we turned them on our dinger which is made from an old piece of municipal well casing, 100 yards distant. Looks to be at least 1/2 thick.
Three rounds quick from standing. Our shots nearly matched, two hits close to the center and one to the outside. The HBAR made pretty little pockmarks on all hits and the AK knocked three clean 30 cal holes through the near side. He was shooting 55 grain milspec ball and I was shooting 123 grain Tula FMJ. Neither of us would have believed it until we saw it.
