[2019] Oh BSG bröther, can you take a look at this 510mm shötgun barrel bug. It has the same accuracy as a sawn-off 355mm.

Here is a set of screenshots with explanations written: https://imgur.com/a/pVh4FxR

The short version: The mp-133 510mm barrel has too low of an accuracy, the same as a sawn-off 350mm remington. While a 508mm remington has an accuracy of more than 3 times that. ( The screenshots have extensive explanations on each barrel).

Plus most shotguns are a bit too inaccurate across the board. Also the shotguns with low accuracy tend to spread so the pellets completely avoid the center of aim, which I think is a bug too? Because on the longer barrels the shot patterns is realistically unpredictable.

What does the accuracy do on shotguns in that case?

to add to it: "Accuracy" is the deviation from the point a shot from the barrel would hit to where the actual hit is. So this will mainly affect slugs due to their nature. The buckshot will be affected by a move of the whole spread pattern.
