There is a big misconception about what spread and accuracy rating is; I will give a brief explenation.

Spread is what happpens when you shoot your weapon. This is was causes the crosshairs to get larger and larger; accuracy rating is how probable the weapon is going to hit the center of that spread. I'll give an example:

When one shoots a scrambler pistol the cross hairs get extra large (larger than most weapons) making the 50% accuracy shoot anywhere in between that extra large cross in the next shot.


The scrambler rifle barely gets any spread when fires; only minimal, meaning that the crosshairs don't get that much farther apart making it's accuracy rating not matter.

The laser rifle has no spread whatsoever. This means it's crosshairs NEVER get larger. This means the weapon could have a an accuracy rating of 1 and still hit it's mark

Ok I get what you're actually experiencing now - when you fire a scrambler pistol and the reticule widens, it makes it harder to aim. However if you still manage to get the center of the reticule where you want to fire, you will hit that spot.

As for your explanation of the accuracy rating, I'd like to know your source because it sounds like a bunch of conjecture.
