So what if distance penalties are the same regardless of maximum range (doesn't feel right though), r4 (or r5) still get an extra round of shots without moving forward to expose themselves.
yes and no. it depends on your luck (or whatever) whether they walk or shoot. (or both!)
the no damage to you bit is nice, when you are shooting at idiots dug in or something, and doesn't move for rounds.
but the more serious point is... better stats is probably better off than 1 extra range... i reckon r3 is good, r4 a bonus.. r5 could be a bit of a waste of time.. if all you do is minute damage.
