We (me and my players) have always found the idea of using vision mag
in combat completely ludicrous. There is no way that anybody can
hold a gun steady enough to shoot a target at long range as well as
they can at short range.
As a house rule, we do not allow the use of vision mag to reduce
range penalties unless the shooter is braced/prone/aiming.
