Re: Colt 1911, max range 82 feet

Yeah, I might only be good for 82 feet with a 1911 but I'm sure it would manage 82 yards and probably more in the right hands.

But I'm not seeing any data like that at the MSN link provided. Even followed the link in the article to https://www.militaryfactory.com/ and couldn't locate anything there, at least not after surfing around to several pages.
Did you click the right arrow in the photo? That leads to the images and data on the specific firearms and where I got the numbers.

Colt 1911, max range 82 feet

I came across this article on the military's longest range weapons. The first on the list is the 1911 which they advise has a range of 82 feet. And the Barrett .50 has a range of 1850 feet! Hmmm.
