= Point-blank range
{wiki=Point-blank_range}
Point-blank range refers to the distance at which a projectile (such as a bullet) can be fired without accounting for the effect of gravity on its trajectory, allowing the shooter to aim directly at a target without needing to adjust for drop. In practical terms, this range is typically short, usually up to around 25 to 50 yards (or approximately 23 to 46 meters) for handguns and can vary based on the type of firearm and ammunition used.
