As the not-terribly-proud owner of some rock-salt scars, I can verify
that it gets out to 50-60 feet just fine, in a fairly tight group. At
that range, you get about .125" penetration.
FWIW, the treatment for embedded salt particles is a long soak in a
warm bath. Hurts a _hell_ of a lot worse than getting shot.
