The Type 56 supposedly has a 4.5 MOA accuracy (5 MOA for the AKM) (source). Theoretically, 4.5 MOA translates to 4.5 inches of spread at 100 yards (about 90 meters). But when shooting with it I've always felt like the shots were simply not going where I was aiming. It sometimes took me 15+ shots at worst when trying to dink MGs who only had their head exposed, even at distances of around 100m (I'm not a noob; my KDR is around 2 and I have 400+ hours on the clock).
I experimented with this by attempting to score a headshot at 100m on vnte-traininggrounds (link to my experiment) using a Type 56, and it took 6 shots before one landed. The median human head breadth is around 15 cm (nearly 6 inches), so how is it possible for a gun that shoots 4.5 or 5 MOA to miss a shot aimed at a head from 100m at all?
