What is the windage adjustment effect of one full rotation using iron sights with the SVD?

The windage adjustment effect of one full rotation when using iron sights with the SVD (Sniper Rifle, Dragunov) is indeed 16 cm. This means that when the shooter makes a complete turn of the windage adjustment knob on the iron sights, the point of impact of the projectile will shift laterally by 16 cm at a distance of 100 meters.

Understanding this adjustment is crucial for snipers and marksmen as it allows them to compensate for wind drift and maintain accuracy in different environmental conditions. Correctly applying windage adjustments is fundamental in achieving precision shots, especially at longer ranges where even small changes can result in significant shifts in the bullet's trajectory.

The other values reflect different systems or rifles, or misunderstandings of the mechanics involved, as each weapon system has its own specific adjustment rates based on design factors. Hence, having precise knowledge about the adjustment values specific to the SVD greatly influences the effectiveness and accuracy of the shooter.
