356 yards: 24 x 27.778 = 666.672. 666.672/1.875 = 355.5584, rounded up to 356 yards.
2. In Mikhail Kalashnikov's original plans for the first AK-47, what process did he specify for manufacturing the receiver?

a. shorter trigger
b. cutouts in the frame behind the trigger
c. arched mainspring housing
d. longer grip safety spur (to prevent hammer bite)
e. wider front sight
f. shortened hammer spur
g. simplified grip checkering (eliminating the "Double Diamond" reliefs)
8. What round was the 9x19mm necked up from?
7.62x21mm/7.62 Luger/.30 Luger
9. What was the first caliber designed specifically for Sniping? Not an adapted military or sporting round.
