Half a hundred reasons a long range gun misses by design
A 1905 foot per second shell speed and rifle wear cause muzzle droop and vibration that push a shell off target. Nonuniform powder and wear reduce accuracy, making shots land miles from aim. Even at eight miles, one in three hits is eagle-eye accuracy. Earth rotation and barrel heating further limit long range effectiveness in Britain.
