Talk:Point-blank range

message: Saying that  a term has "incorrectly come to mean" is merely an editorial comment.  While prescriptivists might prefer that the term keep its more technical meaning, people are not objectively "incorrect" to use the term "point blank" in the more commonly understood way.  A hearty debate between prescriptivists and descriptivists could certainly ensue, but there is no reason for this page to take a position on whether a given common usage of a term is correct or not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.219.147 (talk) 07:47, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

message: It would be nice to have a chart of common MPBR as part of this article.  As a user of Wikipedia the article lacks a connection with the real world.  What's the MPBR of a few common carrtridges, at least??   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.180.239 (talk) 17:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need for a Chart 

message: The section on calculating point blank range is completely wrong. It describes basic ballistic principals about for when a horizontally fired bullet will strike the ground but doesn't mention anything about the height of the line of sight above the barrel or the  angle of the barrel relative to the line of sight. If you picture a graph of the bullets drop as a downwards parabola with a straight line for the line of sight then you can see the complexity of and simplicity of calculating the zero points. Depending on the angle of the LOS(line of sight) you can have the bullet cross it twice (for example at 50 and 200 meters for some .223 rifles), intersect it once or even always stay below it. These intersections are the zero points of the rifle that are typically adjusted to suit the user. To either side of the zero there are point blank ranges.

message: I've always know the definition of point-blank-range as per this link.
It seems very straight forward defining the first and second point-blank-primitives and the distance between them.  However I see none of this in the wiki article.  I'm now questioning my long understood definition.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.201.178.186 (talk) 04:26, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
