Gun performance.
The 24 pdr siege gun, as normally fired at a flat trajectory, had a range between 560 to 682. To be accurate, direct line of sight was favoured but to obtain greater ranges, the piece had to be elevated achieving a maximum rage of 4400 meters.
The official gunnery table, in French “Table de tir”, can be found bellow (see “Canon de siege de 24).
