Default Hey Katy Sails NASA says... GUN THREAD!

"DSK" wrote
There are accounts of snipers with customized rifles hitting
small targets (like bad guys' heads) at 2200 yards. Now for
an even more extreme (and slightly more on-topic) example,
the battleship USS Pennsylvania, firing 14"/50 naval rifles,
blew a hole in a bunker from 15 miles away, then less than a
minute later, put a second round thru the hole.

WOW!! The good ol' boys at Dahlgren did some pretty impressive shooting using
16" rifles but nothing like that.
