How far can an ak-47 bullet travel?

An AK-47 bullet, typically a 7.62x39mm cartridge, can travel up to about 3,000 meters (approximately 3.3 miles) in optimal conditions. However, its effective range for accurate targeting is usually around 300 to 400 meters. Beyond this range, the bullet's accuracy and lethality significantly decrease due to factors like gravity, air resistance, and loss of velocity.
