I don't know if you've been playing the Cactus as much as I've been (150 hours in GW1, 10 hours in GW2) , but you should never use the crosshsir as an indicator for your accuarcy. The spread of your primary weapon is minimal. Don't focus to much on the crosshair, but try to keep the head of you're opponent in the middle of the screen and focus on tracking them. Basically, if your're 75% zoomed in, you've got good chances to hit you enemy, especially with the Camo Cactus (excellent for some d4nk MlG-quickscope-mont4g3s). And as far as splash damage goes... I know some Cacti that deal splash damage: Future (Charged shot only), Jade Cactus, Petrified Cactus and Zen Cactus
I have TONS of hours as cactus and all its variants from pvz1. I had a kill ratio of over 3/1 with all variants and 5/1 with camo and future in multiplayer. TRUST me, the accuracy is terrible compared to the first game. Do me a favor... play Sharkbite variant of the pirate captain on zombies who is there sniper mirror for cactus and look at the difference in the hit ratio. Not to mention his zoom speed and scroll speed when zoomed.
