So your M1A4 carbine has a penalty of -3 at open range and -8 for the visual range penalty for a total of -11?
Is this correct?

This is why I cut the range penalties in half. With the published values, unless youre using something with a scope with magnification, you might as well forget any shots made at anything past tight range, maybe medium if you've got a good (11+) coordination. Based on my personal experiences shooting things further than 200 meters away, the penalties are wrong, excessive. Not that any other editions were better, mind you. I cant think of any system that does a good job, only some that arent as bad as others. And some are truly horrible (Palladium, I'm looking at you. AGAIN.)
