I know most here understand that the weapons have two damage values. A Max damage when close and a Min damage when at max range for the weapon. But I wonder how many of you know or understand that the damage is not a cliff drop in damage. Meaning it does not just magically go from Max to Min as soon as you reach the max effective range for the weapon. That the damage is actually on a slope scale and slowly decreases the further you get away from a player from its Max until it reaches the Min at the effective range of the weapon. This is why sometimes what would normally take two shots from the MK14 can suddenly take 3-4. Or why sometimes it takes you more rounds to kill someone with a weapon when further away then when close/short/medium range. So if you are constantly trying to kill someone and it takes more rounds than you think it should, perhaps you are at a range where the weapon damage has been lowered enough to reduce the effective killing force of each round and you need to get closer. Or else it is going to take more rounds, where if the weapon they are using has a longer range it will still take them less rounds to kill you. Meaning you sometimes get the wtf moments where your weapon that should have been better was out performed by a weapon that should have been worse.
