Yes, I suspect that many weapon stats that deviate from the rough equivalency of MOA = Acc are accounting for other factors.
Like the Acc 6 of .50 BMG rifles, when they aren't any more mechanically accurate than the average hunting rifle. It's meant to reflect the longer effective range of the weapon, as the large projectiles lose energy much more slowly than most lighter bullets.

Just so.

No, these are training standards. A good grenade man ought to be able to hit the center of a man-sized target's chest at 100 yards with his first shot, according to one interview, and keep hitting it with all his subsequent shots. A
great one can do it by feel at 150 yards (probably would be represented with 1 second of Aiming rather than 3).
SEALs take their M79s
seriously. Which I can understand, the Thumper having been a great force multiplier for small units for a very long time, with a lot of SEAL lore attached to it.
