Why is knowing the range of firearms critical?

1. helps determine if you can make a *clean kill*; 2. know at what distances your firearm could cause injury
scope
the design feature that cause the bullet to spiral for accuracy and distance.
used to describe the size of a rifle bore and the size of cartridges designed for different bores

The correct answer is: 1. helps determine if you can make a *clean kill*; 2. know at what distances your firearm could cause injury

Knowing the range of firearms is critical because it helps determine the maximum distance at which you can accurately shoot and ensures that you are not causing harm or injuring anyone beyond a certain distance. Option B is incorrect because a scope is a tool used to aim and enhance accuracy, not the determining factor of range. Option C is also incorrect as spiral or rifling helps stabilize the bullet in flight, not determine range. Option D is incorrect because caliber or bore size does not directly correlate with the range of a firearm.
