Description: | A teacher is looking for a school by the name of Seishou Academy, as he is a new transfer teacher for that school. Seishou Academy is known for having students with excellent marksmanship. However, he gets lost along the way and decides to look for someone who knows where the school is at a summer festival. He encounters a girl at a shooting range and finds her marksmanship skills to be professional. The girl tells the new teacher that she is an assault rifle, not a student. Her name is FNC and is an assault rifle of Seishou Academy. The new teacher attends school the next day to find students, including FNC, practicing shooting assault rifles and realizes that he has come to an unbelievable school. How will his experience be at Seishou Academy? Note: Chapter 20 technically doesn't exist, it was skipped when "Upotte!" switched publications from Young Ace to Shōnen Ace. Spin-Off: > Upotte!!

It's also some sort of general consensus that a 5.56 won't hit a human-sized target reliably past 500m, although there are a few cases where targets have been hit at 800m. But well, they were probably round targets, not slim human figures.
Ah, and the soviet guns aren't as much villains than they are antagonists. The author needed a rival school, and rather than putting a bunch of obscure guns together, he put the soviet guns together, so there's some consistency, hm? NATO vs Soviet rounds. And there's no mg-42.
But I do have to agree with you about the Russian guns being the bad guys. I would have much preferred if instead of flat out bad guys, they were instead presented as a really competetive nearby school with a bunch of tough rivalry going on, but in a friendlyish manner. That way, we could have had a tsundere AK-74 slowly become friends with M16, complete with yuri undertones!!
On a side note. Even in manga about living weapons they make soviet guns villains, while mg-42(renowned Nazi weapon) is an ally of justice.
P.S. wizard172, as Garrum pointed out, SVD would be outclassed in this fight. For such occasion you need a sniper rifle with 12.7x 108mm. Fortunately there are enough of them in production.
But that's all beside the point: Chapter 34's Thompson sensei was beyond awesome. It showed that she isn't just some dumb bimbo, she is a hardened veteran of wars, both on the battlefield and the street, and AUG's little trick didn't faze her in the slightest. She simply worked with the momentum, changed hands, and calmly shot her opponent in the face. As a weapon, she was outmatched, but her combat experience covered that gap. I like that it also showed that she can still be vicious, and that she still carries her gangster past with her, even if only a little bit. Normally ditzy and gentle, but fully capable of becoming a hard faced killer if needed, in a single chapter she became MUCH more interesting to me.
a sniper battle between Barrett (12.7×99mm) and Dragunov (7.62×54mmR) will be epic
You are forgetting SVD's ears and bushy tail. Also, G3's shooting stance. =P
or
G3 - Tall dark and Bishoujo.
Decision, decision ...
hmm ... I'll just wait until new chapter being arranged correctly before start reading this ...
(tl;dr: no)
i´m cumming !!!!
it's a pain to read the chapters like they are now... ^^
Chapter "20' should be Chapter 21.
