Sure, he's faster than the avg person, but he's not faster than a speeding bullet (that's another comic book character.)

even w/his spider sense telling him of the bullet, if the bullet is faster than u, you will get hit.

so how does he avoid machine gun fire?

His spider sense kicks in while the gun is being aimed, before the trigger is even pulled.

Maybe he can sense when/where his attacker will fire? Plus, being rather acrobatic, it's probably a lot harder to hit him...

You pretty much had the answer. His spider sense. It let's him know when somebody is about to fire at him. He doesn't have to be faster than the bullet, just faster than the person pulling the trigger.

Guns aren't 100% accurate either. Neither are the people firing them.
That added in with his spider sense makes it pretty hard to hit him.
Except if you are the good guy. Then you can hit every target dead center every time.

Right on the money. But it's not like Spider-man has never been shot in the comics before:

Peter?s friendship with Gwen Stacy grew as she began to confide in him regarding family troubles, though this meant he arrived minutes too late to assist Iron Man in capturing the rampaging Rhino. When an imposter dressed as Spider-Man committed a string of robberies, the real Spider-Man was shot in the shoulder by police trying to apprehend him, and Fury sent the Wasp over to Peter?s school to patch him up. While this was happening, the fake Spider-Man killed Captain John Stacy, Gwen?s father. Enraged, Spider-Man foiled the imposter?s latest bank robbery, beat him to a pulp but stopped when he realized he almost killed the guy and left him for the police, clearing his name. As her mother had run off with another man, Gwen moved in with the Parkers; Mary Jane, meanwhile, broke up with Peter, fearful he would one day be killed.
