Actually, open bolt guns are plenty accurate. There is some movement as the bolt goes forward, but this really isnt an issue in a full auto gun. A closed bolt gun is capable of better accuracy in semi auto fire, but with practice, the open bolt guns can be just as accurate. The open bolt gun has more handling issues as far as safety goes, especially with people only familiar with closed bolt guns. First and formost, the gun "looks" safe when in fact its cocked and ready to go. To make the open bolt gun safe, you need to remove the mag before you let the bolt go forward. If you dont, its off and running when the bolt is let forward. There is also the problem of dropping the gun while cocked and having the bolt go forward due to the jar. If the bolt is retracted while cocking, even just a little and slips from your hand, it can still strip a round and fire it, even though the bolt did not lock back. This is a good reason not to have your finger on the trigger while handling, as the gun will continue to run until its empty or you let off the trigger. Its also good to make sure your finger comes off the trigger when the gun stops, for whatever reason. If in the rare case you have a hangfire, when the round goes off, the gun will start running again if the trigger is back. Once you understand how they work, its no biggie, but it pays to know what your doing with the different types of guns. Its best to ask first if your not familiar with them.
