Talk:point-blank
Latest comment: 4 years ago by Backinstadiums in topic adverb at close range
The previous definition "So close that a weapon may be aimed directly at its target with no allowance for gravity or wind." is incorrect. A projectile travels in an arch. "Point-blank" is the range at which the projectile hits the location where the weapon is pointed, while on its way down. This varies for each combination of weapon and round/cartridge.
merge with point blank
[edit]IMHO the "see also : pointblank" is not very useful, and this article (point-blank) should be merged with point blank and contradictory Etymology be resolved. — MFH 01:38, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
adverb at close range
[edit]Similar to the adjectival meaning of at/from very close range when firing/shooting. --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
