what do you consider max effective range for this bullpup? I've never shot past 100

sure it would hit at 200 and even 300, like any other 5.56 if you know how to shoot a little...
put an optic on it, and probably even further...but, what's the EFFECTIVE range on this (I know it's not a sure thing you're taking anyone down at 300 yards with a normal 5.56 rifle...all day at 100 and I wouldn't stand in front of it at 200 yards)....but 300 that little ole bullet is starting to run out of steam...
so...with a bull-pup...wondering if it's same or what other shooters have found out.

I've never bothered to put anything better than an ACOG (4x32) on this as i don't view this gun as anything other than an ideal urban (in houses, etc) type of SDW given how easy it is to move around....but then again, I might just grab my PS90 indoors too....as I'd be less concerned with over-penetration I think with that round than 5.56 round punching through drywall...from what I've seen of taking my SCAR through a shoot-house at a gunfighting school with live ammo...

well, just curious....would love to know what you all think...
thanks!

thanks! I'd guess same, 5-600...but not sure I'd count on more than 300...but sometime I'd like to find a long range and try it out, that's for sure. hard to find long range access in AZ though

hey....why do you guys call it the Tuna? i can kinda see it, shape wise, looking like a tuna fish...but never thought of it like that...unless there is some other reason for nick name too?

thanks for clarification on the TUNA nickname
I can see it, and have no problem with it either.
I do like how I see some of the others modified...especially one that had the desert camo design on it (had helmet and metal plates in picture too)...that looked awesome

thanks again Savage Jim!

Thanks Doug! What is the MSAR STG-556 you refd to? picture?
nice shooting! I could see hitting at 500 yards from bench rest....not sure why I thought a bullpup design would be less than SCAR output...given barrel is same or very close to same overall length...
appreciate it!
I can't believe you can SEE 500 yard impact...I can't see past 100, and can see dust come off target out to 300...but not clearly tell impact points without spotting scope/partner
