LONG-RANGE GUN RECORD
What is said to be the longest measured range ever attained by a gun projectile was made in 1892 by a projectile fired from a Krupp 9.45 in. gun. The actual measured range in this firing was 22,120 yards, or a trifle over twelve and a half miles. No record was made of the muzzle velocity. ■
