Well, since I don't have any hard guidelines on the kind of range one
can get, I base it off two things:
1. My estimate of old style ranges from WW2 by eyeballing and what I
think might be progress in this over a few hundred years
2. My estimate of new ranges of modern high-pressure chem soup pumps
used in fire suppression. I've seen them throw chem soup a long, long
way.
If anyone has hard data on these ranges, I'm more than game to take a
suggestion.
