To comment on your long topic: specifically the range- when doing some research using multiple sources online and a few books, i found that one of the biggest problems is that no one agrees on the effectiveness of weapons as it is.
in fact i did find (and lose) a great article about gov. agencies finally trying to make a standardized test because they all used different ones and so the effectivness of a weapon, and therefore how it got written up in the manual for that agency was different depending on which agency tested it. ie. Dod had one set of stats for an m-16, FBI another, colt a third, etc....

I believe, that figuring out a rough standard for ranges would be the first step in fixing the issue. defining 'effective range' as numeric data
such as ft/lbs of energy at impact range.
woudl sure beat the 50% chance of incapacitating kinda drivel that they try to guestimate on now.

Secondly, the biggest problem with ambi weapons is terrain.. in the right terrain, esp. at night you can use a 2 fisted fighter with pretty much any 9mm sub effectively, in the open field- like RL you do have issues with range, though i found you could still get in the occasional shot.

I always found the AMbi person a great sniper, carry a sniper rifle, and some clips, 2 SMGs and minimal reloads. let the team carry some extra smg ammo to swap in between fights, and then that person covers both ranges, extreme and extremely close.
