First off I was trying to back up your side of the argument, so I'm gonna say this again to be clear RANGE and DMG FALLOFF are not the same thing! Range is the distance a bullet will travel before it will essentially disappear, or for a more real world perspective, until it loses all momentum and gravity pulls it to the ground. Firing a bullet that hits nothing doesn't mean it will infinitely travel through the air. Dmg falloff means the further a target is the less damage will be dealt, ie a regular auto rifle shooting an opponent at close range will do more damage than if that same target were at medium-long range. The range Stat on a weapon dictates the maximum distance a weapon will deal any damage whatsoever. If a shotgun has 15ft maximum range, damage falloff means at 15ft the shotgun will deal it's least amount of possible damage. Hard light not having damage falloff does not mean it's bullets will fly through the air until they hit something, it means at any point from the barrel of the gun to maximum distance determined by its range stat it will deal the same amount of damage.
