Watch Sgt. York shoot a sniper out of a tree with a .45 from 100 yards away!!!

I vote to lower the range to 1 also. I've lost a lot of guys to pistol packin' crews. Its a bit frustrating to fire at a crew from 2 hexes away witha 4-man recon team armed with M1 Rifles, only to get beaten by the P38 armed crew.
In addition, I think that bailed-out tank crews should have very fragile morale. Once they bail out of their tank, I suspect most of them are just looking for a way out of the fire fight so they can draw some new wheels, I can't imagine them skulking about the battlefield waiting to ambush real grunts.

Range 1 for sure.

When in doubt, go on line.

1 for me too

I said nothing, and neither did Paul, about changing the hit percentage of pistols. I said that a range of 2 (100 meters) for a pistol is unreasonable.

I stand corrected. Sorry, I misunderstood. I see your point though. It would take one heck of a long barreled pistol with a scope to peg someone at 100 yards!

But ureka! Last night I just had another kill by a sidearm!

Does Soft Air Gun count? I can reliably hit a target at about 15 meters with one of those, but when me and some buds went out in the woods to shoot it out I once emptied a whole clip at a guy no more than 3-4 meters away, missing! Simulated combat stress I guess...
