The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
No, for you it would be anything within 50 that's essentially an easy shot. No leading or anything like that.
At 200 yards the bullet has curved above the point of aim and fallen back down to your impact point.
I've rethought actually, and technically, since gravity starts to affect it the second it leaves the muzzle (trajectory is parabolic because your muzzle is aimed slightly up, not because bullets defy gravity), there is no point blank past the muzzle.
Okay bub
Don't blame me, blame the dictionary that decided to define it by "affected by gravity" which honestly it still would be affected by gravity in the barrel even, since it's on damn earth. I guess point blank only exists in space lol.
"Point-blank range is any distance over which a certain firearm or gun can hit a target without the need to elevate the barrel to compensate for bullet drop, i.e. the gun can be pointed horizontally at the target.[1][2]"
