Re: Range of Weapon 107 (8 inch Gun) OOB12 (US Army)
So the weapons in question in the US Army OOB are as follows:
103 8in Howitzer
104 155mm Gun M2
107 8in Gun
115 155mm How M1
116 240mm Howitzer
The following assumptions are made about weapons 103, 107, and 116: 1) That weapon 103 is the 8in Howitzer M1, 2) That weapon 107 is the 8in Gun M1, and 3) That weapon 116 is the 240mm Howitzer M1.
There is the possibility that the 8in Howitzer could be one of the Mk series, and that the 240mm Howitzer could be the M1918 series, but both of these seem doubtful to me. Also, relatively minor modifications to the M1A1 155mm Gun led to the M2, so I'm going to use that data as well, seeing as only the M1A1 is mentioned in my source.
Ranges from the previously mentioned source:
155mm Gun M1A1: 25,395 yards (No Max/Min specified)
8in Howitzer M1: 18,510 yards (No Max/Min specified)
8in Gun M1: 35,000 yards (Max. Approx.) / 22,000 yards (Min. Approx.)
240mm Howitzer M1: 25,225 yards (Max.) / 8,450 yards (Min.)
