I saw in another thread someone talking about how accurate their gun was and it got me wondering. What makes a gun inaccurate? Isn't a gun just a straight tube that a bullet travels through and will go where ever that tube is pointed? Wouldn't most accuracy problems be attributed to the person or the ammo and not the gun itself? What malfunction or design flaw makes a gun inaccurate?
