Guns by the yard...or meter..

[Mr. Pub]

There are different ways to look at the type of gun you need. For today I'd like to compare guns by the yard i.e. what handgun, shotgun, long-gun, would you use for the following ranges. I don't necessarily own all of these guns now, but I may shortly (unless I change my mind). Also, they should be legal to own. Change the yardage if you don't like the way I broke it out.
