Line 71:
* [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in ''[[Cyberpunk 2020]]'' due to a serious case of [[Shown Their Work|Showing Their Work]] in regards to shootouts between amateurs and street hoodlums. Most firefights are fought well inside 12.5 meters (the "close" range band of pistols) and are usually decided by the first lucky hit. On average, they last all of fifteen seconds (five turns).
* Completely averted in most cases in ''[[Shadowrun]]'', where the extreme range limit for most weapons is about where the extreme ranges of real weapons would be (e.g. 1500 meters for a sniper rifle under the Shadowrun rules; that has been exceeded in real life in seven cases ever).
* Despite how its parent franchise lovingly embraces this, ''[[Star Wars]]'' RPGs avoid this. A "low tech" mortar has a weight of 1.8 kilograms with max range of 3750 meters
