If someone tracks target A and hits object B out of carelessness or negligence, you're saying that the person 'deliberately pointed his gun at B and fired'?

Don't take it personally. What you're saying just happens to be absurd.

"Deliberate" is used for both a measured action (something controlled by someone) and an intentional action (something preconceived by someone). The context is important here.
