"But I am very curious about the 6 value assigned to the M8 and M29 weapons, a rather dramatic increase from the 1 given all other rifles.Anyone know why there's such a dramatic increase for these particular weapons?"

IIRC in general a 6 accuracy value assigned ot a rifle means that it is fitted with a scope. That at least is what I remember from the last time the issue was dealt with.In general it is assumed that the inherent greater accuracy of this or that rifle when firing with iron sights is a too small advantage to be of any relevance at the scale the game operates.
