Not sure if the pic will show up in full size but...

I decided to conduct a test on which guns had which range. I made a simple map, very long with markers at each grid. At one end there was an ammo crate. When you're on your last clip, an icon will appear to guide you to the nearest ammo crate. When you look toward the ammo crate, it will also show how many meters away it is. I used this to find out certain distances by having a second player (borrowed a friend's PS3) stand next to the crate while I back away. When the crosshairs no longer turn red when you aim at a player, you're out of range. Of course the excludes funky-firing weapons like rocket launchers that can be firing at an angle for more distance.

I also found that each grid in the mapmaker is 64 meters by 64 meters.

All of these were double checked so there shouldn't be any errors.
Random crazy junk like this is what I do in my free time.
 



I found it interesting that the M1903 had more range than the SVD and Dart Rifle.
What really bugged me was that the G3-KA4 had more range than the AK-47 even though the AK is listed as having more range...

Also take note that the M-249 SAW is the longest range weapon short of a sniper rifle.

I do love that the Flamethrower can only hit at 7 meters or less. ROFL!!

Yeah, but I didn't think it out-ranged the AK...
The AK still has it beat in clip size and damage but not by much in damage so with the Accuracy and range (not to mention low recoil) the G3 stomps it easily.

I still like the FAL better though. Unfortunately I think it has one less clip than the others.

One of these days when I'm bored I'll do a damage chart too.

The sad truth is that, no matter how much you know, unless you can actually aim and fire correctly, the knowledge is worth nothing.  

At least now most of the players out there can overcome one obstical one their way to being a decent competitor. LOL

Well 90m is around a grid and a half.

But you're right, a couple of the weapons can hit just outside of the red-crosshair range...

Maybe the SAW is a lot outside that range. I didn't fire every weapons at my target (maybe I should've) I just checked the distance it was when it stopped showing red. The weapons I did check were either spot on or very close.

Except for things like the RPG and Carl G. I thought that distance would be when the rocket cuts out and starts falling but it wasn't. A test shot went past my target at least another 40m.

It'd be a lot easier if their gun stats were more accurate in the first place. (That is, the stats listed are wrong or hard to tell any difference. The whole 0 - 5 bars next to each weapon at the loadout screen.  Not the guns themselves being inaccurate. )

Great study Neg, very informative.

I always thought the AR-16 had more range than that, but then my eyesight isnt what it used to be (my far cry character that is   )
Maybe I'll switch to the SAW
