"...I find this to be very low..." Hi. You ever seen or fired an AK? Sights are really crappy. Mind you, neither the AK or, its predecessor, the SKS, were ever intended to be accurate. Both were designed to be issued to illiterate conscripts who could be taught to use it as fast as possible. Accuracy and effectiveness were irrelevant.
Soviet doctrine was hordes of tanks and supporting PBI with artillery.
A typical taliban fighter grew up with an AK in his hands. A typical Russian/Chinese conscript did not. Nor did/do American or Canadian volunteers.
"...what the Army was teaching..." Lady friend of mine works at the Pentagon. Her job is to edit the papers, etc. written by senior officers. Bird colonels, with their Masters degrees in any subject, are barely able to form a sentence. And they're the ones who wrote those manuals.
Firearms training costs money and time military's do not get. No different, really, than police.
"...few college ROTC folks bothered to..." How many of 'em ever went to a range while in school? ROTC is a way of getting educated for free.
