Default Re: MG34 Range

Small arms ranges tend to be modeled for effective range. Even with a telescopic sight, 1200m is a very long shot. Trained snipers using modified rifles with hand selected & matched to the rifle ammunition consider this extreme range.

I would think small arms would require variable effectiveness to better model that kind of "indirect" plunging fire. Would be largely supressive in nature, while in game it would be using the lethality ratings of direct fire.
