I'm asking to establish the time frame in which this term could have originated if it was created to describe shooting out a candle, instead of being appropriated for such meaning. If, for example, this term was in use in 1750 and such a shot could not exist until 1900, then the term was probably not created to describe shooting a candle. Quote HistoryQuoted:

How long ago did it become technologically feasible to repeatedly shoot 1/2" at 100? my interpretation is 1/2" at 100 there was never any mention of time frame which you ASSumed I'm asking to establish the time frame in which this term could have originated if it was created to describe shooting out a candle, instead of being appropriated for such meaning.

Old muzzleloading arms are fantastically accurate if treated correctly. Harry Pope was building some stuff pre-1900 that was staggeringly accurate. |

Depends how close you are to the light. And how big the bulb is.
Shotgun would work at 30 feet. 338 Lapua would work at 950y. 105mm Howitzer would work at 7mi. |
