Easy - If your weapon is properly zeroed.
From reading the article it appears they were almost handed the weapons before shooting.
"...an AK-47 style assault rifle chambered for 5.56 mm ammunition...." Now most of the guys here understand the question I'm going to ask - you others will need to look it up. We know why this target is set at 25 meters for the M16 series. Does this "AK-47 style assault rifle" have the same sight picture and bullet trajectory as the M16 family? I would assume yes as it's 5.56 mm.

I smell an opportunity for a squared away Green Beret to fix this to save the contract.....it was once about a time the bread and butter of a good 18B
As far as the trajectory of the chambered round for this set up I am curious to know how it differs
Weight, grain, rifling, barrel length, where the sight sets on the weapon compared to the front sight post all factor in not the mention the shooter being training on how a weapon shoots or what a 50/300 zero means
