I remember a bunch of us were trying out an m44 offhand and walking rounds onto a barrel that was probably 400-500 yards out. it'd take us 3 or 4 rounds with someone spotting to figure the hold, reload, and be able to get most of the next 5 on the drum. and of course after 10 hand it off while someone reset your shoulder. would be easier with peep sights or a scope but the round is reaching a good ways.
