Please No random bullet spread!

@CyberDymeThis was my point earlier when I mentioned the dreaded 'realism'. No gun, no matter how good the the shooter, fires exactly where the reticle is pointing everytime.

Spread mechanics, either intentional or not, replicates this to some degree.

Sighting in a rifle with a gun vice, which removes any recoil from the equation, and you still get variations in the spread. Nobody in the military except to few elite sniper teams get "matched ammunition" which is akin to "blueprinting" a race engine.

Ammunition and firearms for the military are produced on a mass scale, by the lowest bidder. Everything has "tolerances" to allow for errors in manufacturing that inevitably occur. break down any box of ammo, no two bullets are going to be the same, a few grain more or less of powder,  slight differences in weight of the rounds, etc. 

Here's a thought,  have you considered fatigue  while aiming your 10 to 40 lb. weapon? Run 300 meters with a full pack over rough terrain while being shot at, taking cover, and firing your weapon isn't like being licked by puppies, so there's that to consider. Expecting ever round you fire to go where you think it should is a ridiculous pipe dream fueled by generations of movies that pretty much get everything wrong in the world of firearms.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Cheers.

P.s.

I didn't even get to rant about doing all this in below zero conditions,  which increases the suck factor by 100 every minute.
