To rely on having a longer range against an opponent is to ignore this fact.
At very close range the forearms will be in contact with the opponent as strikes are blocked by your opponent or visa versa.
Another factor that favours close range techniques is that most self-defence situations occur in confined spaces such as alleyways, bars, crowded public functions etc. While a long-range technique can only be applied where there is enough space, short-range techniques can be applied in any situation.

 Range   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The best range for you is the range at which it is easiest for you to both block and attack, your comfort range.
Increasing range when attacked may be considered a retreat or it may be a shrewd move to draw the opponent off balance.
Combat ranges are the ranges at which different combat strategies must be employed due to the distance, timing, reach, and rhythm of the opponents.

 DVD Review - At Close Range   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This is more than important in a film like "At Close Range" since it is very dark, almost noir in its tone and color palette.
Watching "At Close Range" in its original widescreen aspect ratio reminds one of how badly the film, as with most widescreen films, suffers in a fullframe presentation.
Shots such as Christopher Walken’s sinister countenance, contrasted by the deep blue of the night sky behind him, is woefully lost without widescreen presentation.

To keep his grip on the opponent's thumb, the defender keeps his hands close to his body where his control is strongest.

 Close-Range Active Defense (CARD)
When deployed in urban combat, such vehicles are often engaging targets at very close ranges, where employment of the main gun or automatic cannons is not effective.
For these situations, CARD offers an effective means to deliver fragments at close range, even behind protection.
Each CARD is lauched from standard smoke launchers to a range of 35m' and is programmed to burst at a height of 2-7 meters above surface, generating over 1,000 0.3 gram fragments.

In all, "At Close Range" digs at the heart of its audience and, with as much attention to sincerity as Hollywood allows, surpasses the disconnect of reality and nightmare.
At Close Range is a dark but outstandingly beautiful movie starring Sean Penn (I Am Sam) and Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter) and directed by James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross).
One of the best films of the 1980's, At Close Range tells the true story of the Johnston Family gang (changed here to Whitewood) which terrorized Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania in the 1970s by stealing tractor parts and generally being hoods.

I think if he was as close as 4 feet away from you, there could be a much simpler explanations: your rifle was simply sticking through him and all the bullets went to the other side.
Of course, at point blank range this can be expected as your gun really does go through the other players avatar, but as you said your rifle wasn't that close.
It may well be (that the barrel was sticking through the target...) though I'm sure I was not that close (and it can be a pain to even bayo a prone target without trampoling off his body if you get too close).

And yet, "At Close Range" is based on a true story.
But when the big time turns dangerous and it looks as if the gang might be busted, the Walken character is absolutely prepared to save his own skin, even at the cost of betraying his child.
They are the same dynamics you could see in the great crime film "In Cold Blood" (1967), the dynamics where seemingly ordinary people whose moral sense is missing drift into actions so bad that perhaps even they are appalled.

 Newsday | Death at Close Range
As Brooklyn prosecutors get ready to present evidence to a grand jury, the fate of a police officer who shot dead an unarmed teenager could hinge on how close the victim was to the officer at the time, sources familiar with the probe said yesterday.
The issue is likely to be a focal point when prosecutors present the politically and racially charged case to the grand jury, possibly as soon as today.
A second source said that, in any police shooting, a key element is determining how much time the officer had to size up what was happening.

It has been a while since I read this book, but I can't forget Proulx' good stories and her eminent ways of using the language.
I decided to check out Close Range: Wyoming Stories on the recommendation from Stephen King in his memoir, On Writing.
