Min Range, Max range: what does it mean?

[TheGrimSleeper55555]

In the weapons form in GECK there is this small window named 'range' which contains 2 values and a check box, min, max, and fixed. It tells an NPC at what range a weapon is most effective. But I don't get how much distance one such unit of range is.

I tried getting an estimate from the other weapons in GECK, but the values seem to vary wildly, like 500 to 2000 for a baseballbat, while an assault rifle goes from 256 to 1024. This would mean that if you run too far away, the NPC will switch to a bat to kill you!?!

So could somebody enlighten me on the workings of this stat?

Ranged Weapon Min/Max Range Mult - These multipliers modify the minimum/maximum range value on the combatant's weapon when doing range calculations

I found that too, but it doesn't really explain how many units a meter or a foot is. Or how it helps a NPC make its weapon selection.
