Range of a:
.22LR(Long Rifle) is about 150yds(450 feet) muzzle velo 1000fps to 1800fps. The higher velo rounds are a light bullet which means the range is actually shorter (Not much mass to carry energy through air resistance. NOTE Air resistance is roughly proportional to square of airspeed).
.38 special (handgun), range under 500 yds accurate use is much less, muzzle velo 1000fps
.357 magnum (handgun), range under 500 yds, accurate use is much less, muzzle velo 1350fps
.223 round like in M16, AR-15. Max effective range is 300 yds, generally more useful at 200yds. Penetration at 300 is poor, penetrates paper to almost 600yds. Muzzle velo 2300fps – 3000fps. Because of low mass of bullet, does not carry energy well to target. This round is controversial amongst the arms services even to this date. Most engagements are 300 to 900 yds. Some special mods to bullets to try to carry more velo are being tried. The AK-47 uses a .30 cal bullet, which carries velo to greater distances.
.30-06 rifle round, range about 3500yds (wide difference in performance with these, top end being 5000yds, but not much penetration power at the high end), muzzle velo 2400fps to 3500fps. (Big game round, larger than used on AR-15)
