That's IF the bullets spawn from the center of the screen. If the bullets spawn from the gun then there needs to be a give and take to where the bullets land depending on how close you are to the target. You'll end up firing at very wild angles without doing so. For example look at the keypad of your keyboard and think of that as the games screen.

The gun would be at 3 and crsshairs at 5. The closer you get to the target when hip firing the greater the angle needed to hit the target from the bullet spawn (3). Without a limiter your missed shots would end up hitting number 7 and beyond the closer your target gets instead of behind the target (5). ADS (aim down sights) puts the gun center screen and thus the bullet spawn center screen fixing your "problem".

An easy way to see just where a bullets spawns is to hug a wall. Put your gun behind said wall while the crosshairs are in the open and shoot at the distance (do not ADS). If the bullets hit the wall then they spawn from the gun, if not then out of your face (center of screen).
