Bow range - 30m
Pistol range - 10m
Rifle range - 100m
Shotgun range - 40m
After consulting with a lieutenant on the police force (I figure he should know) about fire arm ranges for someone 'with less than 10 hours of training', 'able to hit a man sized target half the time', he said these ranges (aside from bow, which he didn't know but I googled) were on the money.
Things like scopes (don't fucking talk to me about scopes on a pistol - it's mostly a gimmick that people use or Hollywood to make the gun look bigger - plus it can't be holstered then) massively increase the range while slowing down the rate of fire.
With the exception of rifle ranges (which can get a lot lot longer if you don't want to shoot every round, have a spotter, want to adjust for the earth spinning, wind and all that shit) these are basically the ranges of 'effective fire'.
If you go beyond those ranges, your skill drops by half. Beyond double and you're at half again. Shotguns won't do much beyond 40m with birdshot (personal experience here - do not try this at home kids!) and slugs suffer from lack of rifling hence accuracy. Pretty much don't bother with a shotgun beyond that range.
Some weapons (yet to be introduced) will have this range also be their maximum range for special reasons that will be apparent later.
But in case you were wondering about ranges, here you go.
