In terms of sheer marksmanship, I put hitting a beer can at 100 yards with a handgun as difficult as hitting the same beer can at 1000 yards with a scoped rifle.
Come now, bit of a stretch maybe? For most shooters a 100 yard shot with any reasonably made handgun is a chip shot compared to a 1000 yard rifle shot. Heck, the best long range rifle shooters in the world can have trouble with 1000 yard beer can shots.

All gun formats aside your talkin drop and drift measured in inches at 100, talkin measured in FEET at 1000. 1mph difference in wind won't make a dang bit a difference on beer cans at 100, that same 1 mph can cause a miss on a bus at 1000.
