Accuracy is not what you think it is, in the context of this game, it is you/your warframe's ability to maintain that accuracy. The first shot you fire is always perfectly accurate, or as accurate as the weapon is capable of being. The faster you fire, the more the shots will deviate, according to the weapon's accuracy. If you take one of the least accurate weapons in the game and only fire one round at a time, it's very likely you'll hit each round, whereas if you hold down the trigger, the precision of the weapon will start to fail.

At least, this is what I've noticed.

So while weapons IRL do in fact have an inherent "accuracy," in this game the accuracy stat has always been a little silly. I mean, when you look at the accuracy stat of the Lex Prime and see it so low, you start to question why it is you can pull headshots off at range every single time. Slow down the rate of fire and you won't have an accuracy problem. The bonus RoF is nice to have when you're up close and personal and can afford to unload into an enemy.
