Are the Power Ranges absolutes, or can they be exceeded?
The reason I ask is that having a Rifle-type weapon limited to around 150 feet is unrealistic.
Modern rifles are effective at over 1,000 feet, and some are even effective at a mile!
Perhaps a -1 MAG and -2 to the Attack Roll for each increment past the initial?

Moving to GM's Tactics, etc.
Well, if this could be a House Rule, it belongs in the GM section. I'll post over there. Thanks for the input!

Not my job
Organization of the forums isn't my expertise. So.... I can't really comment on that one either way.
The rules exist for the sake of balance, but what you say makes sense so... GM's call (surprise, surprise!). I like the idea of adding a penalty for exceeding the range though. It's bending the rules without ignoring them and that's just creative. Although, unless it was exceeding the rifle's absolute maximum range, I wouldn't reduce MAG. I'd just reduce ATK. That means it's harder to hit at longer ranges but it doesn't reduce damage until you go out past that 1 mile 'effective until' limit you mentioned.
