Anyone know at what range(s) York killed those six Germans with the 1911?

Thirty yards...Camp Perry

It took me this long to figure out he used a 1911. I had read a lot of accounts of him and most of them stated he used an "automatic". I always thought he had picked a Luger off one of the Germans. I didn't think he was carrying a pistol with his P17 Enfield. The rifle was chambered in 30-06.
I do remember a sketch he had made but I believe it showed the position of the machine gun nests.
