Scale down the model and shorten the distance, everything will be fine. Unfortunately that is no solution for me,- actually I'm working on a big area (>5km²) that can change it's dimensions during development and customer needs. So scaling all my levels according to a strange lightning-engine-value now and on every sizing-update is out of the question! (Well, after 7 days there is still no solution/clear answer for this problem that shouldn't be that exotic - Come on, it's just a stencil shadow!)

I agree, but techniques for generating and rendering stencil shadows aren't really the problem here. I just want to display them in the whole scene...

So what problem if use 19 quants for the gun instead of 192? And I don't think the light range is strange, the max. range is 2000, if 1 quant == 1 inch, that light is pretty strong already.
