...right, but you're rolling the dice to see if you hit a moving target,
not to see how far you made the bullet go. :) Since the range bands
describe how easy/hard it is to hit a target at different ranges, they
should be a function of the shooter's skill, modified by the inherent
usability of the weapon (i.e. shorter for pistols, longer for rifles).
