This concurs with the pre-M16A2 maximum effective range of 460 m (503 yd). [112] The Colt 3×20 telescopic sight was factory adjusted to be parallax-free at 200 yd (183 m). [ 113 ] [ 114 ] In Delft, the Netherlands Artillerie-Inrichtingen produced a roughly similar 3×25 telescopic sight for the carrying handle mounting interfaces.
This maximum range is only of safety interest, not for combat firing. [14] The M16 rifle is "accurate beyond description". [171] Its light recoil, high velocity, and flat trajectory allow shooters to take headshots out to 300 meters. [172] [173] Newer M16s use the newer M855 cartridge increasing their effective range to 600 meters. [128]

With the addition of clinometers fixed machine gun squads could set long ranges and deliver plunging fire or indirect fire at more than 2,500 m (2,730 yd). This indirect firing method exploits the maximal practical range, that is defined by the maximum range of a small-arms projectile while still maintaining the minimum kinetic energy required to put unprotected personnel out of action, which ...
The M24 Sniper Weapon System adopted in 1988 has a stated maximum effective range of 800 meters and a maximum allowed average mean radius (AMR) of 1.9 inches at 300 yards from a machine rest, which corresponds to a 0.6 MOA (0.17 mrad) extreme spread for a 5-shot group when using 7.62×51mm M118 Special Ball cartridges.
