Searching for any weapon that is not fired by an explosive charge, I have not found anything that has any kind of range of 2500 feet, modern or in history. I know that a car was launched off an aircraft carrier by the aircraft catapult launcher, but I can't find how far it went. All I have seen is a comment about the car flying a 1/4 mile.

I was a Major before *pain*
But I got a promotion.
I am now a General *pain*
Yay for promotions!!!
