Thank you Rexee.
Mr tttiger,
I used the military term 'Effective Range' which has the definition
"The maximum distance for a shooter at which he or she can confidently hit the target." (from google.)
In the Australian Army, the term is commanly used to indicate the range where you can start registering hits on targets with a reasonable use of ammunition.
An example for the use of this is during my 9mm Browning pistol course with the Australian Army, we were told that the maximum effective range was supposed to be 50 meters but if the target had taken cover and was returning fire, the real effective range was 6 to 8 meters.
This doesn't mean the 9mm round will have no lethality beyond 8 meters but that your chance of gaining a hit within a reasonable number of rounds is low.
I hope this clarifies things for you.
