I have mine at 3.40 km. But longest i’ve seen in the forums (with proof) is 7.01 km,

The longest kill distance counters are bugged. They just have to be…
So what - it’s possible to combine the draw radius of players to get a legitimate shot over 400?
Depends on bullet travel distance - evidenced by CarlG’s projectile never reaching ground when shot straight up, even though being spotted falling down. But it should be enough to hit target across the region, which way more than single viewing distance.
The devs claim their ballistics simulation is super-realistic. I know that there is no powder propelled, shoulder-fired weapon in the world that can launch a projectile as far as 7 km. For a rifle, no more than 5-6 km max, given the right angle. But even if they did, what are the chances of hitting something at that range? Even with a couple thousand rounds fired in the same direction? …as good as none, IMHO.
The grenade launcher’s arc doesn’t seem very flat either…
Do you know if every machine on the map is “there” all the time? By that I mean every machine beyond 400 meters and all across the map?
I’m over 400. Don’t know the exact number. Would have to check.
I’ll also try for something over 700
Can anyone confirm if this is even possible? A true one shot kill of a Fnix tank (meaning no explosives or otherwise involved)? Never heard of it before. Maybe on adventure difficulty? 
Also regarding the discussion about distance and multiplayer, and what @Aesyle wrote about in another thread. So if the draw radius is around 400 meters around a player, and you’re in a multiplayer game where one player (player A in the screenshot) is ahead of the other and spotting an enemy (X on the screenshot), do you mean that player B can also actually see the enemy from his position?
Edit: On a side note, the Exp. PVG90 pierces by default, so shouldn’t FMJ ammo be more effective than AP for this weapon?
As far as i know, machines are there but they are not drawn until player gets 400m of them.
E.g, best evidence is Rivals, which are shown on the map.
No. Player B can’t see the machine outside of his 400m draw radius regardless.
However, if player B starts shooting towards the location of the machine, that player A sees; player B bullets will pass by player A. I have personally witnessed it in MP. And when hitting the machine, will damage/kill it as well.
Top-down view of that MP event, by using your method:
Green circle = 400m draw distance
Blue lines = 6* AG4 bullets that i saw whizzing past me
Since Ring (with pez) was about 850m away from me, our draw distances didn’t overlap, instead there was about 50m of non-draw space between us. But since Dark was about 450m away from me and slightly on the right side, our draw distances did overlap and Dark also bridged the cap between us. Also, Dark too did see the bullets from Ring.
What is unknown, is if player draw distances needs to be overlapped, for bullets to travel this far. Here, some further testing needs to be done, to get to the bottom of it.
I lean towards that there is no need for draw distance overlap. Since weapon firing sounds already travel very far and i can easily hear when someone is firing AG4 or 6* .50 cal, kilometers away from me.
Discussion moved to proper topic.
