Real World stuff:
Pistols are typically 50 meters effective range
Rifles are about 400-500 meter effective range
Snipers up to 1500+
Effective range being 50% accuracy + kill capacity against a human target
Most guns kill velocities are about 3x further than their effective range.
That aside, I do agree the fitting tutorial needs far more improvements, focusing on fitting 'excellence' and skill point expenditure.
Matchmaking needs to work out much better as well.
NPE just needs a hell lot more tools period though.
Its not like I hate to say it our most effective NPE tool is other players even with all the improved NPE tools are put in there is no substitute for a Dust Uni instructor or a corp that has a training division.

I bolded the irrelevent part. On that topic though, I'd be down if CCP used real world ranges on their weapons. But they don't. Also, I'm pretty confident that the documented AR range is not 84 meters.
It's like 300 max range and 80 effective before the massive drop off Curve is a steady plateau until the drop off.
ARs are getting adjusted so the start of the drop off is shifting to the lowest of all rifles.
Laser rifle is a hill around the same range that slowly builds up to a peak before its steep drop off.

Link please? Someone made a range chart showing max range and optimal. Are you saying the AR can hit out to 300 meters? I have a hard time believing that.
Sorry this is the top of my head from what I remember seeing. Need to book mark more things ><
Yeah it sucks the ranges in dust 514 are lines, not numbers.
The information in following thread puts a better idea where ranges might be rather soon

What I meant by max range is that bullets don't suddenly disappear at long ranges they may just hit like a bag of feathers past effective. 3
