Depending on the Recoil level, you can only fire a certain amount of shots until the listed effects apply. This amount of shots is referred to as the '''accuracy drop threshold''' or '''ADT'''. What ADT determines is the amount of rounds you can fire before suffering from the effects of Recoil.
For example, at Recoil 1, ADT is 12 shots, meaning that you can fire between 1 and 12 rounds without suffering from the listed effects (what is referred to as the ''accuracy window''). If you shoot between 13 and 24 rounds, you This this is referred to as "passing over ADT". You can pass over ADT up to 3 times, at which point the listed effects don't get any worse.
* "Point of aim shifted" means that you will hit a random body part of your chosen target, instead of the one you were aiming at. That point of aim shifts as many times as you pass over.
