Answer:

it will only keep you warm if you're in the sunif you're in the dark then you're whistling Dixie Allan, you taught me something new, thank you :)
Mosin vs tree: 8 inches penetration 25 yards Mosin vs 1/2 steel plate: holed it at 15 yards Mosin vs 8 cinder block wall with concrete poured in it: takes 3 rounds to go thru (jack hammering) - shot at 200 yards used a 1942 Izzy M91/30 and 1986 USSR LPS 147 grain FMJ-BT military ammo AK vs tree: 5-6 penetration 25 yards AK vs 1 aluminum plate 15 yards: almost penetration with 1 round, takes two to defeat it completelyAK vs 8 cinder block wall with concrete in it: each round creates a 1-2 deep craterwithout high precision to jackhammer a hole in that wall a mag dump (30 rounds) won't defeat that wallshot at 200 yardsused a Wasr-10/63 GP AKM rifle with Yugoslavian 1970s/80s M43 military ammo typical the AK is about half the power of a MosinThe Mosin is superior at longer ranges due to much better exterior ballistics performanceThe AK shoots faster and while precision shooting is possible it takes alot of effort and it seems getting 6 groups at 200 yards with a cheap wasr is not typicaldoesn't mean the rifle can't do it, its just very uncommon for most people to shoot that well if using a Mosin Nagant carbine with a 20 inch barrel reduce power by 15%if to a 18 barrel, 23%.
