You can change out the barrels, but from what I recall, he hasn't done that. He has his .357 revolver for everything else.
Most of what I've read only says the MER is 200M.
I'd venture to guess the Maximum effective range has to be for an area target though and not a point target. Point MER is going to be much shorter.
A marksman will be able to do things with a weapon that look superhuman to normal people.
Are you talking in both instances that were brought up? or just the time out on the freeway and the mirror? Because Michael clearly says Burt has a rifle in the hallway when they are confronting TOWTM. Why you would give up a rifle for a hand gun to shoot a target that is running away from you makes no logical sense to me at all.
