Really you're welcome to ask Nexon that. It's meant that within it's normal range, it's an instant kill no matter how you look at it. Just as you go beyond it's normal kill range, you can usually land a shot but it's "tanked" due to that excessive distance. It's usually upon release of the 100 damage rares, that are almost untankable in those ranges. Afterwards people rage and Nexon slowly dials back the kill range.

M107 was the beast and still really holds that title, given it's magnification raises it's accuracy more than people expect. Sure the Tactical and other rifles (97-99 accuracy) hold true to being accurate, with that extra magnification range you'll still be landing shots. It just takes longer for many though, because it's meant more for camping at that range since you're a sitting duck.
