Best Answer

Depends on what type of weapon you are asking about. Assuming you mean a shoulder fired weapon it would range anywhere from 100 yards (smooth bore musket) to 1000 yards (and in the case of some specialized rifles even more).

If you talking about artillery again it would vary with type piece, size of piece and the type projectile anywhere from a few hundred yards to several miles.
