You don't think a Thing is built for Range A-C in Real Life but has the capability to be pushed a bit further?  I can tell you that back in my Arty days our guns were designed for a typical charge -- but there were allowable charges that would extend the range quite a bit.  The side affect?  The gun would be locked backwards and have to be sent for repairs.

Anywho my stuff was simply for racing purposes -- giving players a chance to "turbo" about.  Redlining and all that...
