Just had the A-Bolt out and picked off some critters eating the freshly sewn grass.
I shot four all up with six shots. Had to finish two off so it was 100% accuracy! Hands are all jittery from the adrenaline, been a while since I've actually shot something besides a paper target.

...And the reason why the AN94 is not so widespread is because the internal mechanisms are too complicated and too high maintenance to be issued to regular troops instead of just the Special Forces. Yes, the double-round system allows for very high rates of fire and the avant-garde flash hider does reduce muzzle rise, but the big counterweight is that the AN94 is not as easy to dismantle/put back together and service as, say, the M4/M16. Which is why the Russian Army prefers the AK74/AK100 series - they're less trouble for the "normal" soldiers.
And only an idiot, a complete ignoramus or a lazyass wouldn't maintain his weapon in proper state, regardless of its intrinsic ruggedness/rusticity. US troops in combat have repeatedly confirmed that the M16/M4, when properly - and regularly - serviced, doesn't jam much and can actually be quite reliable (it certainly allows more precise shots than the AK47 thanks to a flatter bullet trajectory). One reporter in particular (I must've cited/linked him in one of my previous posts in this thread) even stated that troops who frequently have to play bunny hop with and crawl through the Afghan irrigation ditches don't encounter catastrophic amounts of trouble when they get their weapons dirty...contrarily to what all those self-appointed gun pundits claim. However, if you're recklessly clogging the barrel, the mag well or the ejection port with mud, talcum-like sand or hard soil with the preconception that you can abuse your weapon as much as you want without feeling sorry for it afterwards, then don't be surprised if something goes wrong once you pull the trigger. AR15 model or not, you're just asking for it.

The SAR-21 is a brainless piece of engineering. The slide for the trigger group cannot be removed, the gas tap cannot be opened up, the battery cap falls off easily (and it costs $550 to replace), and the whole thing dies if there is mud or sand in the chamber which cannot be shaken out easily because the bolt group locks forward and seals the entire chamber. Sure it keeps the mud and sand out, but what if it already gotten in? How can one even clean a weapon that doesn't have parts that come apart by hand?

Distance is also important, because pistols tend to ride up more than rifles and submachine guns when the round is fired due to recoil and the slide pulling backwards to chamber the next round. What I was taught was to look and focus on the target until everything else outside of it becomes blur, then simply point and shoot if the target is less than 20m. Holding the pistol in firing stance and aiming will make you more nervous and screw your aim, but if you focus until everything else becomes blur, the promethium sights will form a straight line. Put the line over the target's eyes will hit the temple, over the nipples will hit the cartoid artery/below the neck, over the elbow joints (around the bottom-most of the ribcage) will hit the heart, over the crotch will hit the stomach, and over the knees will hit his crotch - within 10-15m with lots of practice.
