Since the G on the moon is 1/6th ours, bullet drop would be 1/6th that rate
also, but without the "lift" apparently generated by the bullet's flight
through air. Thus, say, 5x the range (1/5 the drop).
HOWEVER, one caveat ... you need to modify the firearm to fire in a vacuum.
Most guns need OXYGEN for the COMBUSTION of their propellants. That means,
either MP-Laser work is common up there (more likely, since a stray MP=Laser
is less likely to crack a window and kill everyone in a given compartment), or
you need specially constructed/modified guns with an O2-delivery system and
supply. So is that a Top, Under, or Barrel mounted accessory <g>?

He can do NADA unless there is a significant Mana Field on the Moon; unless
the corp running the facility has BIG gardens (as in, kilometer-high, many-
kilometers-across caverns) under ALL of the moon's surface ... there's little
hope of that.
Makes magical intrusion really hard to do. <g> No MAGIC, chummer.
