For combat purposes the M7 and M250 are firing high velocity high pressure penetration type ammunition. That’s not match grade. 3-4MOA is the accepted accuracy of a service rifle. With match grade reduced velocity reduced pressure more specialized tips you can get better dispersion.

From what I know, unmodified qbz191 reliably shoots with errors under 2 MOA with the most common service rounds. It also have smaller recoil than other common assault rifles and have a whopping 30000 shot barrel life. Putting in effort can improve a grunt rifle, but cranking in ridiculous chamber pressures is probably the wrong way to go.

Chamber pressures vary based on caliber and how the cartridge is designed.
Also Press (F) to doubt.
2 MOA with accurate ammunition and a good shooter is possible. But that’s not using combat ammunition. 20,000+ rounds is realistic for an intermediate caliber rifle. The only way to pull off both those claims is if the data is manipulated.
4 MOA isn’t an outlier it’s what you expect from a combat weapon.

Well, obviously not both at the same time, accuracy wears out much faster than reliability. 2 MOA with combat ammunition is already achieved with a new rifle.
