    Yeh, I know all that but I don't think journos are familiar with Strelok of ballistic tables. When they use the expression "point plank range" on TV or whatever, their interpretation is someone/something was shot at zero range ie very close or face to face. It has a dramatic sound to it. Yet again not bothering to use correct terminology or understand the terminology. Same as their ridiculous "high calibre assault rifle" statement.
