How do weapon statistics relate to game play

I'm interested to know what the weapon stats mean in the game. I have made some assumptions, but I'm curious to know if there is any official line on them.

Take the following example of adding a short barrel to my rifle.

car-4 short barrel

So does this mean that with reduced accuracy I'll have less chance to hit an enemy, so more weapon spread. What about mobility? Is a higher value better? Does it affect weapon swapping? Reloading? What benefits are there of lots of noise?

There doesn't really seem to be anything in game to understand what the stats actually mean in real terms.

So it turns out in the install directory of the game, for me, E:\Steam\steamapps\common\PAYDAY 2 there is a PDF which details the game. It's got a handy page on the stats!
