Okay, so why not extend the range bands to include an "extreme range,"
with a d4 chance of hitting, and a range of 48", or long + 24"
(whichever
is longer)?

One of the reasons I'm still arguing about this is that I can just see
the next episode of Murphy's Rules:

"In the FMA Skirmish system, the maximum range of a shotgun is 18
yards!"
