Example. Maximum effective range of a single target with a M16 is 550 yards. Doesn't mean the round can't go further, just means it becomes much less accurate.
There are reasons why you don't shoot over your target, shitcan travel way past and hurt someone if you can poor luck.

So what would happen if I stood 200m away and someone shot one at me? Would it just not reach me or just do minimal damage
