All I know is the AO he was operating in was about 20-25 linear km and the Soviets had 160,000 troops in that area. One battle had 4000 attack 32 Finns reportedly.
It doesn't get much more target rich than that and you could set back 600m and fire into a crowd and rack up the kills. With iron sights. It's also important to note that he averaged 5 kills per day, he didn't get 5 per day. He could have gotten a bunch in a classic Soviet charge and then gone a couple of days with nothing.
That's why I'm saying you have to look beyond just numbers because you can take any statistic and make it say what you want it to if you frame it right. Isn't that what a member of this board said to me a few weeks ago? Maybe that was 93 Games board, but I heard it on one or the other recently.
