    With an AK style weapon, even with a scope that would be a difficult shot to make

      With a scope an AK style gun is effectively maxed out at 300m. After that their accuracy is too low to reliably hit the target. They are designed to put out a spray of bullets at closer ranges. In WWII most combat occured at ranges under 200m so they are effective for what they were designed for.

      Very good for combat, not so good for sniping.
