AK-12

Kalashnikov has produced a new variant of the venerable AK. It's said to be accurate (some American versions of the AK, I've read, can shoot to an MOA -- all a matter of quality control in barrel-making), and as reliable as the original. From the video, it doesn't appear to have much muzzle rise in full auto.

I think the Finns already accomplished this feat, decades ago, with the Valmet AK variant.
Firearms development has something similar to the project triangle (i.e., fast/good/cheap). You can have a weapon that is: accurate, reliable, reasonably priced. Pick any two.
