100 miles of copper wire to be used to connect devices and shell launchers

1,000 feet, the distance most shells travel into the air, which is about a quarter mile
300 yards, the width of the bigger shells when they explode
200 miles an hour, the speed at which fireworks are launched
1,000 feet, the length of the firing range by LP Field
