Effective Range: 350m.

300m

maximum velocity of this Revolver is 232.41m/s

Neither of these two ranges match, and the velocity of the projectile being fired is too low to achieve either for an effective range. Please reduce the effective range to 150 meters.

The Range is meant to be 350m, that much I can remember of my thought process when I wrote this while half asleep. Can you please explain my mistake with the velocity? By my calculations I have the right velocity, meaning whatever mistake I'm making I keep making.

Effective range is the range at which the projectile is most effective, and at 232 m/s your effective range is going to be dropping considerably.

Over the course of time lapsed between when the bullet leaves the barrel (muzzle velocity of 232 m/s) it will drop considerably over time, generally by 60 m/s in the first second after leaving the barrel, and by about 12 m/s for every second following. The maximum range of this is likely going to be around 350-500 meters, yes, but the effective range is where it is most accurate/effective.

Realistically you can increase the velocity to 760 m/s (as there are real-world rounds of this size which achieve the same, or higher, velocities), but the effective range is still going to be minimal because you are restricted by how far you can see, and how accurate the weapon is from that range. A handgun is always going to be less effective in range than a rifle.

Thank you for the reply, I see now where I went wrong. I forgot to take into consideration the decrease in speed and the fact that I was after the Effective Range, not Maximum.

The following Edits have been made:

• I have changed Effective Range to 150m
• I have (in the description) made clear that the range mentioned is the Maximum
• The Velocity has been changed to the one you provided above (760m/s)

Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks!
