DUST Search - Weapon Optimal Ranges PLEASE

Oh cool I have a place to post this now

I too am annoyed at the lack of optimal range information aside from the rare dev post/blog discussing balance changes (THEY DON'T EXACTLY HIDE THIS **** IN EVE ONLINE)

So during **** matches where my team is getting roflstomped I got the idea to reverse engineer the optimal range by watching the efficiency change on some starter fit sniper blueberry and writing it all down on a notepad

I'm missing some stuff like the HMG, snipers, and projectile launching things(MD, PLC, flaylock, etc), the formatting is ugly, and some numbers may be inaccurate due to my "assistants" squirming around, but its the most effort I felt like putting into it right now so deal with it

OPTIMAL RANGES
(plasma) Assault Rifle: 45m, Breach 48ish (may have been nerfed recently) Tactical 65m, burst 55m

Scrambler Rifle: 75m, Assault SR ~55m
Rail Rifle: std 73 assault 70m
Combat Rifle: ~66m, assault ~52m

SMG: breach/std 28m, assault ~30m
magsec ~43m

ion pistol ~20m
bolt pistol ~47m
Scrambler pistol: 30m

Laser Rifle: Maximum damage occurs between 60m and 100m, half-ish damage between 0 and 60m, rapid drop to crap damage beyond 100

Shotguns: 4m breach 5m

Seriously we might as well be given more optimal range and then absolutely no falloff range. It's not like we'd miss it CCP holds the Caldari's hand so this doesn't happen again.

CCP hates you, and Rattati secretly wants to own your soul in order to siphon all the ideas from it. Why are you still reading this useless bit of text? The only part you needed to know was in the first four words. Seriously, GTFO and PTFO! ... if PSN will let you sign in anyways~ I want to punch.

Because games like Planetside 2 has verry very detailed gun information... TO the point of people doing reviews on the weapon going over every statistic... To what ranges... Average TTK.. everything. Then you come to DUST and it doesn't even give you the bonus damage values from the weapon.. Here is an Example of a Planetside gun Review... Would be nice in DUST. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2IH-KydIQ0

EDIT: Though the tips on how to see for yourself the optimal range by aiming at a turret and backing up is very useful.

Seems a bit odd though because the SCR's effective range (96m) is only 6m more than the TAR's (90m).
