More to be added[edit]

I've added the type definitions/abbreviations as they seem to be confused on several pages, but the majority of guns listedappear to be QF types. We need the BL snd ML types added but I'm not an expert in this area, hence the table remains partially complete.Lkchild (talk) 17:48, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to Calibre[edit]

The table could do with showing those entries where the pounder rating is not directly related to the bore size (assuming that there is a difference - i.e. solid sphere at 1lb is directly related, compared to a solid bullet-shaped projectile at 1-lb which would have a different diameter). Looking between pages this seems to be confused on Wikipedia, but I don't know enough about the subject to fix it. Lkchild (talk) 18:11, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
