So why would you need 8G's of gun if a person is on the end of it?

Depends on your "need", doesn't it? There are certainly cheaper rifles that are just as accurate or even more accurate. Are those cheaper rifles mass produced? Do they come with a 10 shot mag as standard? Do they still perform reliably when rolled in the sand / grit / shit / water? Are they availible immediately? Are they built as robustly and can they take the same punishment? Are those rifles still reliable in exteme temperatures and conditions? Are they built off a chassis system? Do they have the same reputation?

Of course the person is still the largest varible when it comes to shooting but no-one can produce great accuracy out of a shit rifle.

Yes. And you can get parts when they do break.
