Question about shooting wound allocation with different weapon profiles

[Bean]

Range is only needed to determine if a model can shoot at a unit. LoS is needed at all times. Pg 16, 'Out of Range'.
"As long as a model was in range when To Hit rolls were made, he is considered to be in range for the duration of the Shooting attack, even if the closest model now lies out of range."

The way this is worded is very GW-like and the first part refers to the shooter as this is the only thing that makes sense.

Right, this.

Range determines who can shoot--not who can be removed as a casualty. If five marines fire at a squad of five gaunts, they can potentially kill all five gaunts--even all but one gaunt is out of range of all of the marines. The rulebook is pretty clear on that.

Brilliant, GW. Brilliant.
