SMGs: Lethality vs Range

[Stas_sche]

Gents,

I have a question about the Lethality calculation for SMGs versus Range.

For the most of weapons, the calculation rules are very simple ("Range Effect" Section on page 36 of the User Manual), for example for a standard bolt action rifle with Leth=7 and Range=10:
Range=1 | Lethality=14;
Range=[2...5] | Lethality=7;
Range=[6...10] | Lethality=3.

But it is becoming a bit strange for SMGs with the Range of 2 or 3. In that case they will never use the "basic" Lethality value, right?

For example, if we take Suomi with Lethality=24 and Range=3:
Range=1 | Lethality = 48;
Range=[2...3] | Lethality = 12.

Am I right with the calcs here? So, does it mean that the most of SMGs are basically assault and "point-blank" weapons (which is historically correct)?
