There is damage drop. You are correct when you say the damage drop starts at 1500 meters and ends at 2000 meters.

This means the M16, which has a base damage of 40, will do 40 damage until 1500 meters. Past 1500 meters, the damage will slowly drop to 30 until 2000 meters, at which it will stay 30 damage past 2000 meters.
