and 35% at 1750 meters
Percentage chance to hit and penetrate targets without armor by a stationary attacker.

This chart is the chance to hit a man sized target using my wargame rules. Check the weapon you are firing and then read across to the correct distance the weapon is from it's target. Then percentage chance to hit that target is the % listed under that distance. So a high capacity pistol firing at a target 50 meters away has a 70%chance of hitting the target. This assumes that both the firer and target are stationary and in the open. Targets hit are assumed destroyed and are removed from play.

This chart can be adapted to any ruleset that measures ranges and uses single figure firing. It is part of my Combat! Bunkermeister system of miniature wargaming. The notation of a leaf is to indicate a template 75mm long by 25mm wide in the shape of a leaf. All targets within that template would be considered struck if the target is hit.

Mike,
How do you differentiate between the first generation of assault rifles with the longer barrels and bigger cartridges and the current short barreled weapons with the samller rounds? In open country an M-14 is going to be more effective at longer range than a FAMAS.

An M14 would be considered an automatic rifle on full auto. It has a full size rifle cartridge. An Assault Rifle must have a cut down cartridge, but larger than a pistol round. So the MP-44 or M-16 count as Assault Rifles.
