This is a good firing position for any distance weapon over village on the Qinling map:






This is a good place because due west is the lake. Flat, clear and no assault will likely come across. Any traffic from the village itself will most likely pass through the bridge choke point right in front of you. Its not on any major route to or from a flag, people coming from mine to village may come close I guess.

If you need to reach this point its fairly easy, the lake itself is underused and the shore line if driven on provides safe and quick access and with no threat from the water you travel much more safely with your 'back against the wall'




I find its a good general rule with any distance or scoped weapon that its best use is by keeping the foreground as clear or friendly as possible.
So the above example would be a good place for sniper too or even tanks though they will stand out more and have more effort to find good 'hull down' positions

If you look in one column of the spreadsheet you will see a # of Shots to Wound section (opps I saw that you noticed). It implies that one shot, with the round fired from a G3A3, to an armoured torso, will cause wounding (ie bleeding).

The rounds have a damage drop off based on range. I shall illustrate this with an example. Here is the bit of code which governs the damage of the 5.56x45mm rounds that the full sized rifles use.

Code:

ObjectTemplate.damage 36
ObjectTemplate.minDamage 0.4
ObjectTemplate.DistToStartLoseDamage 200
ObjectTemplate.DistToMinDamage 1000

The first line is the base damage from which the rest of the damage calculations are based upon. The second line is the multiplier for the damage at the distance which minimum damage is done and beyond. In this case the damage would be 14.4 at 1000m+. The third line is the distance the damage starts to drop off. The final line is the distance where the damage reaches the minimum value. I am under the impression that the damage drops of linearly from the "DistToStartLoseDamage" range to the "ObjectTemplate.DistToMinDamage".
