Which weapon has a maximum range of 2,212 meters?

• A. M2
• B. M777
• C. MK-19
• D. M142

Answer: (C)

Maximum range is the farthest distance a projectile can travel under standard conditions. The MK-19 is a 40mm automatic grenade launcher whose grenades reach about 2,212 meters at maximum. That puts its farthest reach around 2.2 kilometers. The M2 heavy machine gun can shoot much farther, the M777 howitzer delivers artillery ranges measured in tens of kilometers, and the M142 HIMARS system reaches hundreds of kilometers. So the only option that aligns with a maximum range of roughly 2.2 kilometers is the MK-19.
