All firearms in Arma 3 have an effective range. The current range of your firearm is specified at the top right of the UI as shown in the above image. This means when you aim down sights, or through the scope, not accounting for factors such as the Earth's curvature or wind, the bullet is expected to reach from your barrel to the conclusion of that range before bullet drop begins to cause it to fall. Certain firearms, especially marksmen rifle's, have scopes which allow you to adjust this range by pressing {{Key press|Page Up}} or {{Key press|Page Down}} to set the vertical range and {{Key press|Shift|Page Up}} or {{Key press|Shift|Page Down}} to set the horizontal range. The vertical range adjustment is to try and account for bullet drop, whereas the horizontal adjustment is to account for wind.

~~The~~ purposes of SQ-2 certification, you simply need to know what ranging is, how to perform it, and why you'd bother doing so. Doing so in the field as a riflemen can help you hit your targets more. ''How'' to account for bullet drop, wind speed, and so on will be explained in a more specific certification.
