Sighting in an M16A2 at 35 feet is the same setup as sighting in at 300 yards.

My M40A1 weighed 14.5lbs and was 44" long and had a effective range of 1000 yards.
But was know to have a Max effective range of 1500 yards.

The Fifty Cal. Barrett M82A1/3 had a Max effective range of 1800 meters.

Neutron stars have such a strong gravitational field (2×10^11 times stronger than on Earth) that it deviates light and enables you to see more than half of the star.

This will keep me up tonight and occupy my thoughts tomorrow when I should be concentrating on work.
