During the standoff at the ranch, one of the attackers comes back in rifle range and opens fire with a Thompson submachine gun, killing a ranch hand on the roof. That weapon fires .45 ACP cartridges, a pistol round, which has the range similar to the pistols for which it was designed.
The man with the Thompson was at about the outer range for the lever action rifles on the roof, but far out of range for the Thompson. Cara Dutton wouldn't have been hindered by any attempted cover fire from the attacker's Thompson and could have hit him with her scoped high-powered rifle..
