I'd have to say that the range of the weapon is not dependent on the
skill
of the user. If one of our shooters pulls the trigger or I do, the
bullet
(or plasma) is going to go just as far. Now, I may not be able to HIT
anything, but that's a function of skill rather than the weapon itself.
So I'd say give each weapon its range bands. That also allows for the
weapon which has a good "to-hit" as close range, but falls off quickly
at
longer range. And if you have a range modifier--say a die shift
down--then
the Greens and Untraineds will have no chance of hitting at long range
anyway.
