That is a little difficult to answer because range and accuracy aren't a function of just the gun only, but a combination of the gun and cartridge you are firing. In general, it will be a small handgun with a short barrel. Very generally speaking, handguns have a shorter range than rifles, and small, short barrelled handguns have even less range. Most small pocket guns are hard to shoot accurately beyond 10 or 15 yards. Probably overall, it will be a derringer, which is a small gun that has a very short barrel (1 inch or less sometimes).

What firearm has the shortest maximum range?

Difficult to answer- would POSSIBLY be an obsolete firearm known as the Chicago Palm Pistol. This fired a .32 Extra Short cartridge, had a 1 inch barrel, and no sights. It was cupped in the hand, with the barrel protruding between the fingers, and was intended for use at touching distance.


When you know a firearms killing range you can determine what?

First, there is no such term as "killing range" for a firearm. There is a maximum EFFECTIVE range- the greatest distance at which a skilled shooter can RELIABLY hit a given target with that firearm. In a criminal investigation, that information would give you the likely maximum distance the shooter fired from.


List each firearm from the shortest to longest range?

That is not really possible, since your question is too broad to accurately answer. You may be referring to the TYPE of firearm, or the CALIBER of the firearm- and there are thousands of different calibers- or some ranking of weapons in a video game. In GENERAL, the handgun has the shortest useful range, followed by the shotgun, the submachine gun, the rifle and the machine gun- last being the longest range. I have excluded artillery grade weapons from the listing.
