a lot depends upon the gun, size of target, mobility of target, firing position, load, the lighting and shootist, really. Using a derringer, firing with both barrels, on a dodging man, in the dark, arm's length distance is "long range" for most shooters.
So is hitting a barn, in daylight at more than 30 yds. From sitting braced, using an Xp100, scoped, hitting a playing card at 100 yds is nothing much. and some can do it at 200 yds. An XP is a pretty extreme case for a "handgun" , but some of the target .22's will reliably hit a hen's egg at 50 yds, using iron sights, from sitting braced. A lot of "gun-people" can't do that with an ironsighted rifle, from standing unsupported. This is especially true if the rifle is a milsurp clunker bolt, without ear protection.
Put a scope on that 06 bolt, demand hits on bobbing heads, around cover, in the dark, and the effective range is going to be pretty short. Especially during the few minute duration that the muzzle flash has ruined your night-adapted vision.
There's really no agreed upon, hard and fast definitions for "good accuracy" or "rapidfire" or "high-powered", "short' (or long) barreled", or "fast draw", either. Some people "think" that a shot every 5 seconds, with a single shot rifle, is really humping, and others, like Jerry Miculek, know that they are loafing along at 1/4 second per shot.
