eli5 How are guns accurate if their sights are so high?

908 views

Take the ak for exemple, the front sight is like 4 centimeters above the barrel, how is that accurate? Do you just have to compensate for that? Also aplies to scopes, some of the sight quite high on the gun

Edit: i already know they make arcs because of gravity and the angle of the barrel

You don’t have to compensate for anything, just think about it, hoe far is the top of your head to your nose? About that same distance, same thing with the entire chest, the distance overall doesn’t really make a big difference, and even if it did, the marksman could still compensate for it
