Correct me if I am mistaken, but, your use of the term "effective range" seems to refer only to his ability to be accurate.
I can hit a 4 inch target at a range that is further than my equipments ability to penetrate adequately. Which, of course, means that my effective range is the lesser of my equipment range vs. my ability to shoot accurately.
