+When you use a perk that directly affects range (like [[Rifled Barrel]] or [[Hammer Forged]]) there are three things that change:
 #'''Damage fall off distance''' - the distance and rate at which the gun longer does its maximum damage. Increasing range pushes this out farther.
 #'''Aim assist fall off distance''' - the distance and rate at which the [[aim assist]] loses effectiveness. Increasing range pushes this out farther.

		+	#'''Accuracy cone (error angle)''' - the physical size of the crosshairs when ADS (invisible in normal Destiny, but can be seen in the Last Rites mission). Determines the maximum angle a shot could deflect from center when leaving the barrel of the weapon. Increasing range narrows the crosshairs, thus decreasing the diameter of the accuracy cone and providing a lower possible error angle.

	This is an indication of how far away a target can be hit from before damage penalties start being applied. You'll notice very quickly that the range penalty on [[Shotgun]] is severe, making them completely useless outside melee / close-quarter combat distance.

	Range is a [[stats#Ranged Weapon Stats\|ranged weapon stat]] that increases the effective range of the weapon. It determines the distance that your shots hit for 100% damage before they begin falling-off to 50% damage. Range also affects the minimum and maximum size of your "bloom" circle when hip-firing. [[Fusion Rifles]] doesn't suffer damage fall-off, but instead Range determines the speed of the projectile fired. The longer the bar is the greater range the weapon has.

-*[[Fusion Rifles]] do not suffer damage falloff, so sights are not as vital for improving long-range damage. However, range affects fusion rifle projectile speed. The blasts travel more quickly when you have a mod like Hammer Forged equipped, making it easier to hit a target at medium range with more of the shot.

 *Range also plays a role in accuracy when you are firing your weapon, so weapons with a good Range stat tend to be easier to handle when you’re firing at distant enemies.

		+	*'''[[Weapon Sights]] multiply range when you're aiming down sights!''' - When you equip your weapon with a sight and go into ADS, the [[zoom]] factor provides a direct multiplier to the base range of the weapon. Equipping a 2x zoom sight doubles the distance from which you can deal maximum damage. Unsurprisingly, sniper rifles tend to have the highest zoom factor sights. Combined with a high base damage to begin with, this gives them the best-long range performance of any weapon.
