We used the effective range for these guns based on the information we could gather from a number of sources. It's NOT a matter of "Limiting range of our gun" when I'm using numbers supplied from various different sources and the Russian gun come up short in comparison. I didn't write the data we used, I just used the data that we had found. The data I have seen lately and in the past for the M40 gives it an EFFECTIVE range between 1100m and 1350m but I have also seen it as high as 2750m (maximum effective) and we don't use that number.... do we? So who was it that "assured" you the M40 equalled the B11 ?

I don't make up these numbers. They come from various sources and if I found source after source after source that said the B11 could fire 1400m effectively I would change it but I don't. What I find is source after source after source ( including one YOU provided ) saying 450m was it's effective range.

It has NOTHING to do with "Limiting" the Russian gun. WE still give it 38cm penetration because all the sources I find give it that value. Does anyone get on your case about "limiting" the B11 penetration to 30?

Andy and I discussed this earlier. He felt they were too low but all the research comes back to the original numbers being correct.
