What is the maximum range of buckshot for the M500?

The maximum range of buckshot for the M500 is 604 meters. This is the distance at which the buckshot can be expected to maintain enough energy and accuracy to hit a target. The design of buckshot allows it to spread upon being fired, making it effective at close to medium ranges, but the specified maximum range reflects its limit before the pellets become ineffective.

While options like 500 meters, 750 meters, and 900 meters might imply longer distances over which one might consider using the firearm, they exceed the effective range for buckshot from the M500. Understanding this maximum range is crucial for operational effectiveness in security scenarios, ensuring that the right ammunition is used for the right distance to maintain accuracy and safety.
