Coming up for air from getting all of the ammo-tables from the various GURPS High-Tech books into one spot.
I did this with the guns too, once upon a time, and it really helps when making handouts for the player.
It's not difficult, just tedious.
Especially since their pet gun nerd, Hans-Christian Vorstich, defaults to Universal Metric or the common name for a round in the EU today.
The US will call a round something else entirely and he catches it most of the time, but he screws up what a Brit would call it because of his preference for the Universal Metric designations.
That makes checking on the introduction dates tiresome because 1.65" Hotchkiss comes right up and 42x235mmR doesn't.
Then there's Wikipedia that's scoured the articles on individual rounds and lumped them into caliber. Thus, they no longer tell me when 20x102mm is introduced. I didn't remember if it predates the Vulcan or not. It does. It's also not the same round as 20x110mm USN. Yes, it matters!
