I've only fired a couple of shots out of a MAS, but the people I know who have them say that they tend to be pretty accurate and they're not punishing to shoot at all.

It's hard to manipulate the bolt quickly, because of the rather ergonomically challenged design, but generally it works.

One interesting thing I read on Wikipedia is that the nosecap was integral to setting the front sights, and that the screws and nosecap were only to be removed by an armorer.

Never heard that before.
