Not all firearms CAN hit a precise target many yards away. RIFLED firearms impart a spin to the bullet as it is fired. The spinning bullet tends to keep going in the direction it was pointed in at the start. Early firearms were smoothbore (unrifled) and not very accurate.

Does an ak 47 bullet go straight?

It is impossible for a bullet to fire straight. In order to hit a target 100 yards away it has to travel a few inches above the target when it is 50 yards away, then at the 1/2 way 50 yard point gravity overcomes the upward trajectory and starts pulling the bullet down. All bullets travel in an arc, the further you are away from the target the larger the arc. Also long distance snipers have to aim the shot a few feet to the right or left of the target to overcome the effect of wind. Also the earths rotation causes the Coriolis Effect which will change the direction of the bullet at long distances. The bottom line is that no bullet will ever travel in a straight line

When a rifle is fired at a distant target the barrel is not lined up exactly on the target so does the angle of correction depend on the distance of the target?

nope, the angle is the same whether the target is 5 feet away or 500 feet away.. but the difficulty of nailing the exact angle gets greater the farther away the target is.

Are you very accurate?

Yes you can be accurate but not precise and vice versa. Think about trying to hit the bull's eye of a dart board or target. You could throw a dart 5 times and hit the same spot 5 times (very precise) but hit far away from the center (not very accurate). You could throw 5 times and get near the center (accurate) but never hit the same spot (not precise).
