Everything else has has a clear subject matter. The particular topic does vary from book to book. The numbers are not odd. They are based upon published real world statistics. published range / 10, x 3.3 if it was published in meters, round the result to the nearest 5' and you've got a range increment. The author has published in at least one book the "magical multiplier" he calculated to make the range increments compatible with the listed D20 Modern numbers. IIRC, it was 0.43. Multiply a Big Bang Range Increment by that and you get a result more inline with the "we're writing the rules to force you to use miniatures, so the numbers have to be kept small enough to stay on the sand table, but we won't bother telling you how we arrived at those results" Range Increments published in WotC products.Over the next 6 months or so, the Big Bang line will be concluding coverage of WW2 small arms. 1 book each on Japanese, Soviet, British and Italian small arms, 2 on US, and 2 more on German. Plus there will be 1 or 2 books on secondary weapon sources during the war.</blockquote>
