Type of bug: Weapon Bug
Bug details:
I have noticed that I seem to miss often when using Zard BarraGe (lvl 136) in comparison to other weapons with lower BTH so I did a statistical analysis of my misses and put them down in table format and compared them to another weapon and different scenarios to determine what could be the possible problem, so unsure of where to post my findings I decided to post it here after advice from the AQ Questions/Answers forum.
For reference purposes my character is lvl 140 with 200 DEX/CHA/LUK, 25 END and 75 INT.
The scenario is 300 hits (not turns) against Uncle Wyvern (lvl 124) when he is not doing his whirlwind attack which increases his defense and discarding the Goblins Spear special and the 3 hit awe attack, both of which would skew the numbers and make it more difficult to tabulate (note since Zard BarraGe (lvl 136) is 3 hits I only had to do 100 turns to get 300 attacks hence why for scenario 1 and 2 only 100 cells are used in excel, as for scenario 3,4 and 5 since Deft armor of awe is 2 hits I had to do 150 cells to get the 300 attacks), all this with the follow categories:-
1. Deft Armor & Shield of Awe + Zard BarraGe (lvl 136) + RanGer's Scope (lvl 121)
2. Deft Armor & Shield of Awe + Zard BarraGe (lvl 136)
3. Deft Armor & Shield of Awe + Golblin Spear (lvl 120) + RanGer's Scope (lvl 121)
4. Deft Armor & Shield of Awe + Golblin Spear (lvl 120)
5. Deft Armor of Awe + Golblin Spear (lvl 120) + CIT
I used Goblin Spear (lvl 120) cause it has 2 lower BTH than Zard BarraGe (lvl 136).
The Table is split into 4 parts since apparently photobucket only allows images to a certain size before it re-sizes it down to 1024 height which would make the table unreadable...

In scenario 1 a miss rate of 19.67 percent to 2 decimal places.
In scenario 2 a miss rate of 26.67 percent to 2 decimal places.
In scenario 3 a miss rate of 0 percent.
In scenario 4 a miss rate of 6 percent.
In scenario 5 a miss rate of 18 percent.
As can be seen the percentage difference between scenario 1 and scenario 5 is small as they differ by about 1.67 percent. Due to the use of CIT and lack of use of the miscellaneous item RanGer's Scope the BTH difference between scenario 1 and scenario 5 is 17 BTH which leads me to believe that Zard BarraGe (lvl 136) is not receiving one of its BTH modifiers either from the weapon itself or the addition representing the BTH it would get from armor considering its a 100% special item. The large difference between scenario 1 and 2 leads me to believe that RanGer's Scope does effect the item. The difference between scenario 1 and 3 show and compound that Zard BarraGe (lvl 136) is extremely inaccurate seeing as Zard BarraGe (lvl 136) is supposed to have 2 BTH more than Goblin Spear in the same circumstances, yet the proportion in miss rate is so large. The difference between scenario 2 and 4 are shown in comparison to 1 and 3 further giving proof of the inaccuracy and the showing that RanGer's Scope is working as the differences between scenario 1 and 2 in comparison to 3 and 4 are similar in proportion. Initially I thought it could be that the Zard BarraGe (lvl 136) might not be taking stat points to BTH from CHA but seeing as that only accounts for 12.5% and a BTH difference of 4.5 would of shown a greater variance I can only conclude and hope that I am right considering all the time and effort I put into this lol that either the weapons BTH or the bonus it gets as a gun representing the BTH from armor is not being factored.

Is it possible that you missed some of the zard barrage's hits due to its 3 hit attack. Sometimes if you are looking for the +___ damage above a monster, only 1 or 2 of the hits will show up on some weapons. If you are certain you didn't miss some hits, then there may be problem.
I don't have barrage, but missing 59 out of 300 attacks when your hit rate against an 80 AMD monster should be 96% (missing 12) seems off. Random number generator and all, but you are right, there may be something wrong with code. You might want to submit this to the bug section.
@Beofox I kept an eye on the HP bar of the monster since watching the damage above the monster is known to be inaccurate, I knew about this issue and was prepared for it when taking the results. I can assure you that the results are accurate.
Bug confirmed - it's only getting CHA/16 to BTH, instead of the intended CHA/16 +DEX/16 +LUK/20. *passes on bug to higher-ups* ~In Media Res
