What is portees?

"Portée" is a French word that refers to the range or distance a weapon, typically a firearm, can accurately shoot a target without significant drop. The term is often used in the context of hunting or marksmanship, as the portée of a firearm can determine the effective range of a shot. The distance of a portée can vary depending on factors such as the caliber and type of the weapon, the bullet weight, the angle of elevation, and environmental factors such as wind speed and direction. In military usage, "portée" is used to describe the range of a missile or projectile fired from a weapon system.
