nAccuracy = (bAccuracy + 2) * (bAccuracy + 2) / 2
Thanks, that was what I needed to know.

Indeed, that's why I asked. I tried to guess the ratio from the existing weapons, but quickly noticed it was kind of random...
I'll fix them in my own game, much like I'm fixing the damages by caliber (the same bullet should do similar if not identical damage, with some leeway for ballistic idiosyncrasies).

Yikes, spent half an hour going through the weapons - The current "nAccuracy" values are really random. Some weapons have astonishingly high values (unwarranted sniper rifle precision for in reality fairly inaccurate weapons), but I also found two which had actually lower "nAccuracy" than "bAccuracy"...
What I'm trying to say is (general) you should look into it. It seems somebody maintains the "GameDir" files, since there are frequent updates, isn't it?
Why should (s)he?
One could indeed debate if the XYZ-123 should have an accuracy of this or that, but the values should at least be consistent: The game apparently shows the bAccuracy values in the information windows, so if the player uses that (now totally inaccurate) information to chose his weapons, he will be in for a big surprise.
I used the following quick & dirty conversion list, calculated from sevenfm's formula above, with a small bonus for the inaccurate weapons (it's boring spending turns shooting at each other without anybody hitting anyone).
Weapons with no "bAccuracy" setting are supposed to have a "bAccuracy" of 0.
Grenade launchers had neither "bAccuracy" nor "nAccuracy", and got an arbitrary "bAccuracy=4"/"nAccuracy=20" setting, following a couple grenade launchers which did have a "bAccuracy=4" setting. So they now have all the same setting (although I'm considering lowering the short-barreled ones' one).
That's the values I used. The whole search & replace took me about 15-20 minutes.
(bAccuracy=nAccuracy)
-2=1
-1=3
0=5
1=7
2=8
3=15
4=20
5=25
6=32
7=41
8=50
9=61
10=72
11=85
12=98
Thanks to sevenfm for his data and his formula!
