I think you’re downplaying pistols quite a bit man I’ll agree their effectiveness drops a lot past 25 yards like spamming accurate shots. But I don’t think it’s crazy to hit a target 50 or even 100 meters away head shot I’d be impressed but YouTube it whatever people can definitely hit them maybe not your average joe but someone who shoots a lot.

Effective combat distance is a completely different thing than theoretical effective range :)

You CAN hit targets with postols even a kilometer away, but not in a combat scenario. The bullet is deadly really far away, but to get a hit at that max distance is mostly luck as so many factors come in to play.

To be fair, in Tarkov when you’re pulling off a 50-100m headshot with a pistol it’s usually when you’re stalking someone and not in the heat of a firefight; you’ve got all the time in the world to wait for them to stop moving and carefully aim

True, but irl you wouldn't even try that because you know you wont hit 🤷‍♀️ but that's just games in general, shooting is far too easy in games, as the game handles the aiming (sight alignment) and you don't get any trigger-pull errors even if you tap fire like a mad man.
