marciotavares Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 how effective range these weapons??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietjenoob Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 how effective range these weapons???Depends on a lot of factors. For example caliber of the gun, how much powder is used, quality of the metal, quality of the forging of the guns and so and so on. But i believe somewere between 200m and 1000m on land and also depends what type of canon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
