RC20:
Maybe turbofans would have been difficult, but some DC-3s were adapted to PT-6 turboprop (turbine) engines. Loss of an engine after V1 might have required a higher Vmc speed, if they produced more power than the classic recip engines.

Along with some of you guys, I don't like the AK's original sights at all.

But a guy named "brandon401401" hits gongs from 200+ yards with his WASR, in a free stance using the original iron sights.
You might to observe his wife's nice shooting (or looks...).
