Q: What was the maximum range of a shell from the gigantic twenty-inch Rodman smoothbore gun?

A 1,080 pound projectile 4.6 miles

A bit long, but close!

Any other guesses?

It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut.

Listen, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?


OHhh you did not mean coconut shell!

sorry, bad humor :confused:

I don't remember Rodman making any three pointers so I would guess his range around 18 feet. Wait, you didn't mean Dennis Rodman did you?

Well come on then Rich, don’t keep us in suspense. How far can the Rodman shoot and what weight is the projectile?

(sorry, can't help on the weight...)
