jimmy, that statement means if the damned thing is useless beyond 30 feet it
ain't a weapon of war. therefore, its [effective] range [as a weapon of war]
is 30 feet.


It doesn't matter how often you repeat it Jax, you are incorrect.


jimmy, let me explain this another way. An M-14 can pitch a round
something like 3,000 yards, yet its [effective] range is about 500
yards. Getting hit by an M-14 round at 500 yards is going to cause
some problems, while getting hit by an M-14 round at 3,000 yards is
likely to merely **** you off.


Not relevent to the claim you made regarding crossbows.
