I am uncomfortable with that range, even though the one from canon has a similar range. A modern day Javelin ATM only has a range of 1-2 kilometers, by comparison. Going to check with another RPJ just to make sure that the range is acceptable.

Yeah honestly, where that range comes from is where a bunch of skewed ranges come from. Apparently a pistol according to that source shoots 10km. So yes what Asemir says is correct for range.

A pistol that shoots 10km? o.0 Why even bother with rifles?

If you can fix the range to bring it in line with logic, I don’t see much else that needs to be changed. The size and mass of the weapon are similar to the modern day Javelin, so it should be fine.
