Varying Weapons Accuracy

In particular, I've noticed that at point-blank range, my Meson BLasters and Anti-Proton Beams seem to routinely miss, whereas my Null-Space Projectors and Wave-Motion Guns hardly ever do. This is with Multiplex Tracking (5) and Combat Sensors III by the way.

The Null space, meson bLaster, and APB are not weapons that have the built-in bonus. But at point blank range, with Sensor III I get only the occasional miss, I would say no more than 2-3 out of 10. Maybe the target has ECM3, but routine miss seems wrong -- especially in the simulator, where IIRC, ship experience is not included. Is this the result in real combat?
