《Warfare in Eastern Europe, 1500-1800》书摘

 On comparatively flat, open terrain with little natural cover (woods, hills, marshes) available, the defensive tabor was oft en a necessity; and necessity could be turned to tactical advantage by massing fi rearm fire along the inner edge of the wagon perimeter, especially whensupported by a few hook-guns; for the hook-gun was the largest and most powerful hand firearm available, had an average eff ective range of 400–500 meters (and theoretical maximum range of 1,278 meters), and fired a 3–4 ounce bullet with enough force (at least at closer 100–150-meter range) to penetrate a wooden plank 10–15 centimeters thick.

在相对平坦、开阔，几乎没有自然覆盖物（树林、山丘、沼泽）的地形上，防卫车垒defensive tabor往往是必要的； 并且可以通过沿着辎车wagon周边的内边缘集中火力重新火力将必要性转化为战术优势，尤其是在有几支钩铳hook-guns支援的情况下； 因为钩铳是最大且最强的可手持式火器hand firearm，平均有效射程为 400-500 米（理论上最大射程为 1,278 米），并以足够的力量发射 3-4 盎司的子弹（在 至少在更近的 100-150 米范围内）以穿透 10-15 厘米厚的木板。
