Not when you consider that the ranges given are appropriate for a

the fact is it is nigh unto impossible to achieve a direct line of sight to
a target at that range in those conditions.

Oh, your standard-issue Big Gun. Equipment Division made it, and now it's
part of my private collection. I was late because I... had to get it.
