Actually its not harder. If the 3 men were at a close enough range (as was implied) it would be very easy for 1 round to kill both people by going through the first person and striking the 2nd person behind them, whether directly or indirectly. SKS = 7.62x39 round. I've shot AK47s and SKSs through houses and cars and impacted targets on the other side. I was simply suggesting that you not give them the chance to take out 2 people with what might be 1 unintentionally fired round.
