If your intention is to limit all shot ranges, consider the _shotRange variable. The default for _shotRange is 350; if you lower this it should lower the shot range on all shots. I used _shotRange 85 on The Gauntlet map. The _shotSpeed variable (default = 100) will also affect ranges.

Um - won't work for lasers though. I haven't really tried to reduce the range of those.

afaik, Laser range is done by number of ricochets. Something in the order of 100 ricos before it dies.
