What do you mean by useable, are we talking about accuracy or lethality?
Check out some of TRIDENT82's threads on his shooting with his 10.5" out to 300 yards.
This would be the place for Trident82 and markm to chime in but here is a thread for 10.5"
I tried searching for some of Trident's threads and his youtube page...they fell off the edge of the internetz :confused:
My old team leader is now SF and smoked a dude at a little over 400 meters with his Mk18.
I've shot 10.3" guns out to 600 meters, and achieved far more hits than misses, and stuffing a 77gr bullet through someone's torso at any velocity is not a way to ensure a long a prosperous life.
The energetic frag range is greatly reduced from that of a 20" or 14.5" barrel when all other variables are equal, but exactly what that range is is highly dependant on bullet type and construction.
AHHAHA ask trident!
