I just did some measurements with Google Earth.

The West Wing is 4.9 miles away.
The control tower of National Airport is 4.75 miles away.
The guard shack at the entrance to the CIA is 4.7 miles
Pentagon courtyard is is 3.75 miles

and so on

Tape the transmit button down on one walkie talkie, tie some helium balloons to it and set it adrift. Then listen in with the other walkie talkie to see if you can hear the bullets whizzing by as they try to shoot the first one down.
