a gun is a tube.. you have to line up the whole tube with the target not just the front end of it.

for close targets, if your shooting posture is practiced and you have a clear understanding of your natural point of aim you can acquire and hit targets using the foresight only.. or even just looking over both sights.

For targets farther away you need both the fore and rear sights aligned to have an expectation of hitting.

Spend some time trying to Chrony people 's guns and you will soon find out that most players have no idea where their gun is shooting, and have little understanding of even the basic principles of aiming.
