[Oniichan, please somehow get me into the effective firing range. I can definitely stop the wagon!]

I was thankful for Chrisse’ enthusiasm, but her M700P’s max firing range was only 900m. Max firing range meant ‘the distance from when it was fired to when it touched the ground’.

It was the same with shot put and baseball. In other words, the distance from when the bullet left the M700P’s barrel until it touched the ground was 900m.

However, a gun wasn’t just about the flying distance.

It had to destroy or wound objects.

For the bullet to destroy or wound an object, it had to be inside the range where it still had enough energy―that range was called effective range.

That effective range varied depended on the gun’s type.

For example―

A handgun’s effective range was about 50m.

It’s max range was ~1.8km.

An a.s.sault rifle’s effective range was about 200~350m.

The max range was ~2.8km.

A rifle’s effective range was 500m~1.5km.

The max range was ~4km.

A machine gun (12.7x99mm)’s effective range was 1.5~2km.

It’s max range was ~6.8km.

Of course, the number changed depending on the bullet and gunpowder used, air resistance, and the barrel’s length.

After taking all of the above into consideration, the effective range at which the M700P could cause a casualty was probably only 500m. In other words, to grant Chrisse’ wish, we would have to get her within 500m range of the caravan.

“U~~~n”

I folded my arms and brainstormed.

Snow, Chrisse, Lexy the saberwolf kept silent and watched.

An anti-material rifle for example, had enough power to split a human 1.5km away into two, but I couldn’t make it right now.

Then, how would I reduce the distance without them noticing…...

“―if we do this maybe we can get into the effective range without them noticing.”

[Really!?]

Chrisse made a smile full of hope.

As I thought, my wife is cuter with a bright face.

“Aah, leave it to me! I have a secret plan!”

I faced my wives and gave a vigorous thumb up.

To carry out the strategy, we went back to where Meiya was waiting with the airs.h.i.+p.
