If reality is that accuracy in general is maintained for longer but then drops faster past a certain point, that to me that sounds like the underlying issue is how range table spaces the range penalties by distance.
I also quite liked systems that recognise that different weapons/set ups are best suited for different ranges (i.e not just a bonus to all shots which you apply to all ranges)
