The other day at the range I tried to shoot my folding stocked Mac90 with the stock folded.  It is damn near impossible to hit anything.  The best I could do was hit a paper plate at ten meters.  Is there a right way to do this? Why the hell would anyone try to shoot a weapon like an AK with the stock folded how can you hit anything?

As far as i know its suposed to be shot with it unfolded. The folding option is for carrying purposes.

Funny when I shoot my AK with the stock folded, I'm generally not aiming at anything.

I tried it a couple times and its really hard as hell to control it, or hit anything. So much for the brady idiots claim.

Were you shooting it from the hip?

I hope so!

With the stock folded, shooting from the hip is the only way to go!

w00t!

It's lots of fun but utterly useless, except for burning ammo.

If you had a rear sling swivel on your AK pistol like I do it would make sense to you.  With the sling looped over my right shoulder I can push the pistol out in front of me and get a fairly decent cheek weld on the tight sling.  Don't knock it until you try it.

It takes a little practice but a few thousands rounds and you can do it. With my AK would fold the stock and couldn't hit nothing at a 100 yds.

Then started shooting the AK pistols from a bench and then started standing doing it. then started using the strap and it helped. Started moving away from the strap and just standing and shooting.

It took a while to build up the strenght to hold the pistol up and shoot a 30 rd. mag. aiming with each shot.
