What is Weapon Accuracy?

What is Weapon Accuracy? I've never seen a weapon miss in this game, so I'm guessing it's just a translation error?

Accuracy is a invert probability of making "Scratch!" during the fire.

Here's the deal. Each weapon has a probability of scoring either a hit for the normal damage rate and a rate for "missing" and doing much less damage. For example. Almost all weapons have a 95% accuracy rate at close range (right in your face e.g.). So that means 95 in 100 attacks will do normal damage while the other five will do much, much less damage. Raising your unit's skill in each weapon area will increase accuracy for all weapons in that class!

Please note that grenades (and the launchers) have "Deviation". Grenades don't really have accuracy... but deviation is how we do accuracy here. For grenades' "accuracy", deviation is the number of cells that the grenade can go off-line in an #-cell radius. Raising the proper skills will eventually lower deviation!
