  Ranged weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In contrast, a weapon intended to be used in man-to-man combat is called a mêlée weapon.
These ranged weapons were extremely effective in combat in comparison to close-combat weapons, as they gave the wielder opportunity to launch multiple projectiles before an enemy armed with mêlée weapons posed a threat to him.
In modern warfare, ranged weaponry is used in the form of cruise and ballistic missiles.

 Weapon Design
High-tech energy weapons, like lightsabres or vibroswords, might conceivably be purchased as either no range EBs (essentially the same as a Hand Attack, but spreadable as a +0 advantage and can't add damage as a -0 limitation) or as HA vs ED.
A two-handed weapon must be used in both hands; this prevents the character from using a shield or a second weapon, for example.
It is also useful for buying the increased range that an atlatl gives a javelin, for example (That is, a javelin can be purchased as a multipower, with the first slot representing its use as a melee weapon that can be thrown, and the second as a ranged weapon when hurled with a spearthrower).

Due to its farther shooting range it is known to be used as an anti-aircraft weapon to shoot down such vehicles as the swoop bike, or even light airspeeders.
This range is achieved because the barrel runs almost the entire length of the weapon, producing a tightly focused and very powerful particle beam, to accommodate this barrel design, only the actuating blaster module and the prismatic crystal housing are placed behind the barrel.
One such weapon was used by imperial saboteurs on Bothawui during the crisis concerning the Camaas document to frame Han Solo for murder, and to incite the crowd against the New Republic.

 Exotic Ranged Weapon:Senbon (throwing needle) - Wizards Community
As one of the few weapons burst would be remotely worth taking with, very few people on the boards are going to say much good about these.
While I thinkt he weapon is fine, it's completely wrong to compare a weapon to a magic item (a wand).
The *only* way the critics of the weapon can break it is by making it +1 keen and burst and it is from that they extrapolate its so called 'brokenness'.

 BRIKWARS 2005: Chapter 3: Minifig Weapons
A minifig swinging a Two-Handed Weapon must have a hand on the bottom-most grippable part of the handle; this may mean that he doesn't have enough space to bring the weapon's striking surface into contact with the target.
Although Two-Handed Weapons are too heavy to swing with one hand, nothing stops a mounted minifig from tucking it one under one arm and riding full-tilt at an opponent with it.
Because their short range puts minifigs dangerously close to an enemy's ability to counterattack, Short-Ranged Weapons are best paired with a Hand Weapon in the opposite hand, or used in hit-and-run harrying attacks that keep the Ranged attackers just out of enemies' reach.

 IGN Boards - Problem: the Weapon Finess feat
I equip him with the Goblin Slayer, which is a small blade, and the battle information screen, it says he has a ability modifyer of "-1", which makes sense since his strength is 8.
Then i level up and give him the weapon finesse feat, but the ability modifyer is still -1.
another question --> when weapon finesse works, does that mean the character is using melee weapons like the way they would use a ranged weapon (as in ranged weapons use the dex stat instead of the str stat)

Combat Experience is not a good talent, especially for how deep down in the tree it is. If it were at Rank 1-3 and I needed filler, I'd look closer.
I think that Combat Experience should stay where it is. Though I think it needs to function just like Rapid Killing: After a successful kill, the players AGI is increased by 5% and INT by 15% for the next 15 seconds.
