Which firearm has a practical range of 50 meters?

• A. Glock 17
• B. M240B
• C. M16
• D. AK-47

Answer: (A)

Practical range is the distance over which you can reliably hit a target under typical conditions. A Glock 17, a standard 9mm pistol, has about a 50-meter practical range because its short barrel and moderate velocity limit accuracy as distance increases, making hits less reliable beyond that point. The other firearms are rifles or a machine gun with longer barrels and higher-velocity rounds, giving them much longer effective ranges. So the Glock 17 is the one that fits a practical range around 50 meters.
