So maybe 12" is more than reasonable. 

> USSR WW2 OT-130, OT34 and KV-8 all 80 to 100m
> USA WW2 several types, typically 80 yards claimed
> USA M132 (M113 derivative) 180m
> USA M67 (M48 derivative) "claimed 80 to 250m"
> UK WW2 Cockatrice 300 feet UP in AA mode (!)

Who in heck came up with the FT as an AA weapon? Very unorthodox 
(might work against helicopters though).
