Believe I read recently about the big battleship 16" guns that the shell reach over 30,000 feet at max range. Some interesting ballistics to those things because of the size.

In a combat situation, there are radio calls about artillery firings stating azimuth and max ord. I heard those for the 155mm and 8" but do not recall how high it was. Way over our puny helos, for sure. When some fly past you on the way up, it gets your attention.

In Vietnam, I think I heard the max ord for a 175 was 33,000 ft. That figure always went through your head when climbing aboard a Huey.
