How are most sights so accurate on guns, even though they’re a few inches above the barrel?

They have to be sighted for a certain range. The M16 barrel is pointed up compared to the sights, so if the thing you’re aiming at is too close then your shot will be high. I can’t remember the exact range, but somewhere around 30yds is the same aim as 200yds, as the bullet will come up, pass through the aiming point, then keep arching and fall back into the aiming point. So sighting in will happen at 30 to make sure there’s nothing wrong with the rifle, and then practice at 200 to get wind adjustments.
