Modern fire arms have no serious limitation on range,except human ability.

Two, using an older version of the musket loader an American went to england and hit a bull's eye on an archery target from 300 meters away. The rare 200 yard shot, came from a "ninja" who was a low ranking samurai & was useing a Dutch musket (not the improvised bamboo shotguns mentioned earlier). At that range I also believe the round injured but did not kill.
Rare shot from a rare individual.

I dont consider the AK as a Assault Rifle.
