Accuracy

Accuracy is a weapon statistic found in all weapons except for Melee and Explosive items. As the Official Combat Arms web page puts it, accuracy is "how close to the reticle the weapon's projectile will actually strike." This statistic goes along with recoil, for as the crosshair grows after continuous fire, then the bullets would go randomly in the crosshair's "circle." If the crosshair is smaller, then the more accurate your gun is on that first shot. The M24 is a good example of a high accuracy weapon, with its projectile hitting whatever is on the crosshair was on almost every time.
