Which, in turn, leads to more accurate shots. |
Faster follow-up shots means more rounds into the targets' direction in a shorter time span, not more accuracy.
If I fired a rifle or shotgun that had no recoil whatsoever, I can still flinch or have a hard time aiming the weapon because of weight and/or fatigue from carrying it around. Also, accuracy depends equally on both the shooters' ability to handle the firearm and the firearms' designed accuracy.
An example would be the Remington 870 and a Browning Citori. Both shotguns are capable of perfect accuracy in trap shooting, but their effectiveness depends on the type of ammunition being fired and the ability of the handlers' use of the firearm.
