It can get pretty involved, but the short of it is; With this weapon what is the percentage of troops getting hit at a given distance. That percentage needs to remain below a certain number. For example: a 500lb Laser guided bomb has a DC of ~200m.

Danger close (not PI) for artillery/mortars is 600m - 5/54 Naval guns - 750m

Just some info if your interested.
yep. it is munition specific. but i can never get tired of hearing the 30mm of the A10 though.

Thank your neighbor and fellow gun owners for passing Prop 63. For that gun control is a winning legislative agenda.
