Infantry Weapons

I have a simple question for you people who know stuff about infantry toys, erm..Rifles

Ok, few questions.

I have read that America utilized the M1 Garand in the Korean War and up to 1957, when the M14 replaced it. The question is, how should the M1 Garand fire- Single shots, higher damage, decent ROF, Multiple Shots(2 or 3), lower damage, slower ROF?

And for the Soviets, I have been reading up on the AK-47. A previous rifle, the SKS, was used in Korea(so early 50s). It appears that that Rifle saw early 50s service and especially in proxy wars. The AK-47 according to Wikipedia came into service in 1949, and saw service up to when the AK-74 replaced it.

Should the standard Soviet "Rifle Infantry" wield this weapon for the 50's, or should it be map based(German Front=yes, Korea=No)

And a opinion poll.
Should basic infantry(those who cannot defend themselves from tanks) have grenades?

Yes and No.

Listen to what I have to say - don't give "basic" GI's grenades. Instead, make GI's with grenade weapons untrainable and with the new RP logic, make Elite normal GIs turn into greande GIs with guns (deplyed).

Just my idea.
