A British AK-47 would have to fit doctrine rather than merely offer attractive technical characteristics. The comparison associates British practice with deliberate precision fire supported by a highly professional force. It contrasts that with a mass-fire approach shaped, in this telling, by armed forces whose officer and noncommissioned-officer cadres had suffered political destruction. Small arms, training, and institutional history have to be evaluated together.
