That's what I mean by "advertised" elevation/ranges.
Hint: If the enemy has a 15,000 ft range missile, don't go flying above him at 15,100 ft and think you're safe.
The idiot shooting at you might not have read the manual as carefully as you did, and shoot anyway.
Warheads and propellants have "some" reserve in them anyway, and all rounds have a +/- error based on different propellant weights, temperature of the propellant, humidity of the air, drag, altitude, how much propellant was loaded, etc. so even a perfect round might go a bit longer than expected in the advertisement.
