Ranges varied depending on the target. Heavy artillery ranges were out to 11,000 yards in general. The Paris Guns (3 were built) fired rounds into and about Paris at a range of 60 miles and some claim 80 miles. They were built by the German firm of Krupp. Each shell was slightly larger than the previous due to the wear to the barrel. After the war none of the guns were recovered, however their emplcements have been found.

What is the furthest that modern artillery can shoot?
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 was the range of the guns of navarone?
The artillery pieces appeared to be patterned after the famous 280mm (eleven inch in caliber- on the nose!) Railroad guns popularily called Big Berthas. These were made by Krupp and had an accurate tactical range of over 2l miles- and inaccurate plunging fire far beyond that. That is why they used Radar fire-control in the film. The Big Berthas were used in both RR and in this case turret mounts, in both World Wars.

What unit in a US Civil War battle had by far the fewest casualties?
By far and away, artillery soldiers had an extremely low rate of casualties. The numbers of such casualties are so low its difficult to imagine they can be real. But there were. For example, in the Confederate victory at Chancellorsville historians note how heavy Lee's casualties were, even in victory, with the exception of artillery soldiers. In that battle only 46 artillery men were lost.
