Hello all!

I'm working on establishing some guidelines for firearms damage, and so far have had no luck locating any websites where a survey of firearms can be found.

In particular, I am looking for the range of:
* projectile (not cartridge) weight, and
* muzzle velocity
for small arms all the way up to artillery.

The type of data I would be looking for would give me a general idea of, say, 150mm howitzers having a projectile weight in the range of 25 kg and muzzle velocity in the range of 650 m/s.

Anyone know of any good sites?

Thanks.

For actual firearms as opposed to cannon, I know a good book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0873496051/qid=1121135581/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-7976255-1589718?v=glance&s=books

10th edition is the most current.

I've got a copy of this. It's the best one in my library.
