The G-3 practical range is closest to which distance?

• A. 200 m
• B. 600 m
• C. 800 m
• D. 400 m

Answer: (D)

The distance referred to as practical range is the point at which a trained shooter can reliably place aimed fire on a typical target using standard equipment under normal conditions. For the G-3 with its 7.62 NATO round and standard iron sights, that reliable engagement distance sits around 400 meters. At about 400 meters you can use the sight picture and sight adjustments with manageable bullet drop and drift to hit human-sized targets consistently. Pushing out to 600 or 800 meters makes accurate hits much less reliable with standard training and equipment, while 200 meters is well within capability but doesn't represent the practical upper limit. So, 400 meters is the distance closest to the practical range.
