No, because there is an absloute maximum limit on how far a weapon can
shoot before it's kinetic energy (what does the damage) is negligible. I
can see now, someone trying to shoot 3500 meters, and burns karma to do it;
the rifle still does the same, say 14D damage (or whatever the damage code
is). Or you could do the +1 TN every 100 meters, and throw some common
sense in there, too...:)
