What is the maximum effective range of the M110?

• A. 800m
• B. 1200m
• C. 1000m
• D. 1500m

Answer: (C)

The maximum effective range of the M110 is designated at 800 meters for engaging targets. This range accounts for the capabilities of the rifle and the performance of the ammunition used, typically the 7.62x51mm round. The rifle is designed to perform effectively within this distance, enabling snipers to effectively engage targets with precision while considering factors such as wind, bullet drop, and target movement.

While options suggesting longer ranges may imply the potential for accuracy or effectiveness at those distances, practical shooting tests and military doctrine establish the 800-meter mark as the ideal limit for maximum effectiveness with the M110. The 1000 meters range often cited for other sniper systems is more aligned with the capabilities of dedicated precision rifles and does not apply to the M110 in the same context.
