Hudson doesn't lack high-precision long-range attack weapons, like say, Magic Crystal Cannons; the problem is that he simply doesn't have them.
It's not just about possessing the necessary wealth, it's about the availability. Each Magic Crystal Cannon is reportedly crafted by the hand of an Alchemist Master.
Only nobles with profound foundations would have such formidable weapons.
Hudson has never seen one in real life. But according to the records in the canon, it's just like a cannon from the Continent of Aslante.
The magnitude of its power varies and doesn't conform to a standard scale. Generally, the larger the caliber, the greater the power. But that's not absolute; the main factor is the skill of the creator of the Magic Crystal Cannon.
The only similarity is the ammunition. Almost all Magic Crystal Cannons are driven by Magic Crystals or Demon Cores. Interestingly, it delivers a purely energy-based attack, yet the destructive force is manifested physically.
