I'm kind of surprised the AK-47 rounds went that far. .22 rounds, sure. They're lethal out to 2.2 km. AK's have a stated 'effective' range of 350 meters.
The 'effective range' is the range where you can be guaranteed penetration good enough to kill. 500 yards is still close enough for a stray bullet to take out a kid playing in the backyard.
And a .22 has a range of over one mile? Try 150 yards! I thought maybe you meant .223 until I got the the 2.2 km part.
Come on! You "gun people" are supposed to know all these things!
