1) AR single shots and bursts get pretty accurate at medium range later on.
Pistols are pretty accurate at midrange.
SMG's are always inaccurate, at least if you stay at 7 PER. That's not an issue though because you get quantity over quality. You can reliably decimate groups of enemies at long range even when the actual target your bursting displays an 18% hit chance. Shooting 28-42 rounds a turn will do that.
Most important thing to remember is that darkness lowers accuracy beyond point blank range dramatically. Get night vision goggles as soon as possible, those completely nullify the darkness "debuff".
2) I used snipers on my AR guy for a bit but I found that it's not worth it. Whether the shot hits or misses a 7-9 round burst even with extremely low accuracy is more damaging and more AP efficient. That being said, if you are unsure just keep it. The economy becomes a non-issue past depot A (maybe before depending on how you play). I try to visit all the shops whenever they restock, doing so nets me around 1000-3000 charons and I still have around 50-70 items to sell. Their value ranges from 5k all the way up to 25k.
