The large naval artillery could fire a round 23 miles. The army and coastal artillery could fire about that far. Field Artillery were not as large and had a shorter range. Modern artillery has used rocket assisted artillery shells but I'm not sure of the range of those.

What were some defense weapons used in world war 1?

Some defense weapons used in World War 1 included machine guns, artillery, poison gas, and barbed wire. Machine guns such as the Maxim and Vickers guns were used to lay down a barrage of bullets on advancing enemy troops. Artillery, including large cannons and howitzers, were employed for long-range bombardment. Poison gas, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was used to incapacitate or kill soldiers. Barbed wire was used to create defensive obstacles and impede enemy advances.


What country in World War 1 developed the longest range cannon?

In 1918 the Germans introduced an artillery piece that could shoot 75 miles. This was almost four times the range of the biggest guns in the war to that point. It was called the Paris Gun and part of its power was due to its extra long barrel. It was not that accurate for 75 miles, however, it was used to bombard Paris. It had a favorable psychological for the Germans, to compensate for its lack of accuracy.
