Range in PvE (Destiny)

I think that at a certain range you simply do not get precision damage hits regardless of where you aim.

Untrue. You can get a precision hit at any range I have been able to find. With Timur's Lash, Thorn, and Reglator Mk. 56 (the only hand cannons I've tried this with), you can get precision hits on Hobgoblins from range so far that they will not shoot back. Easy to test on Winter's Lair (this week's Nightfall). When you get to the "defend the door" section, run through the vex spawning grounds and up onto the ship. Wipe out the first wave. When the second wave spawns, hobgoblins will spawn up along the mountain walkway near the entrance to this area. You can precision hit them with your pistols, even though you can barely see them (take aim with sniper rifle, switch weapons, fire. Enjoy the yellow damage numbers).
