The basic infantry rifle can make a differenc, I am with Don on this point, The man that fires the weapon makes it what it is.

In the US I fired the Odd AK knock-offs. They were not accurate at all. But on the other hand almost every SKS rifle I shot, shot the crap out of an AK at 200 yds. Most kept the rounds in the black of a 25 yrd NRA pistol target at that range. Thats a 8 or 10 in diameter area.
M1 Garand is about a inch tighter. This also depends on the rifle.
M1A is about the same. Newer rifles peform better.

Many squads in Iraq now have 1 or 2 men carrying M1As because the M16 lacks hitting power. Durring the taking of Falugia (hope I selled it right) some US troops slung their M16s and carried pump shot guns through the stair wells and buildings of that city.
