Parameters

General parameters:

• name – the formal name of the cartridge.
• image – optional – an image of the cartridge. The image must be given in the form "Example.jpg"; in particular, the thumb attribute must not be selected.
• caption – optional – the text to be placed below the image.
• origin – the country or place where the cartridge originated or was first manufactured.
• type – the type of cartrige or its designed use (e.g. "Pistol", "Rifle", "Hunting", etc.).

Specifications

• parent – optional – the cartridge that the cartridge was based on, if any.
• case_type – optional – the type of case used for the cartridge (e.g. rimmed, rimless, straight, bottlenecked, etc.).
• bullet – optional – the diameter of the bullet used in the cartridge, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• neck – optional – the neck diameter of the cartridge, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• shoulder – optional – the shoulder diameter of the cartridge, if any, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• base – optional – the base diameter of the cartridge, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• rim_dia – optional – the rim diamter of the cartridge, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• rim_thick – optional – the rim thickness of the cartridge, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• case_length – optional – the case length of the cartridge, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• length – optional – the overall length of the cartridge, expressed in mm or in; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• case_capacity (may be added later) – optional – the volume of the casing, expressed in cm³ or grains of water; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• rifling – optional – typical rifling to stabilize the bullet fired from the cartridge.
• primer – optional – the type of primer used in the cartridge (e.g. large pistol, small rifle, rimfire, etc.).
• max_pressure' – optional – the maximum chamber pressure of the round, expressed in MPa or psi
• max_cup – optional – the maximum chamber pressure of the round, expressed in CUP
• filling – optional – the explosive filling material of the shell, if any.
• filling_weight – optional – the weight of the explosive material of the shell, if any.
• detonation – optional – for explosive shells, the detonation trigger type (e.g. "timer", "pressure", "motion sensor").
• yield – optional – for explosive shells, the yield (in tons of TNT) of the device.

Production history

• designer – optional – the person or group responsible for designing the cartridge.
• design_date – optional – the date (usually given as a year) when the cartridge was designed.
• manufacturer – optional – the manufacturer of the cartridge.
• production_date – optional – the period (usually given in years) when the cartridge was produced.

Ballistic performance

Ballistic data for up to five different weight bullets can be specified; it may be provided in either SI or Imperial units, but this choice must be consistent for all five sets. The x in the field name should be replaced with 1–5 as displayed in the template format shown above (e.g. bw1, bw2, btype1, btype2, vel1, vel2, en1, en2, etc.):

• bwx – optional – the weight of the bullet for given data, expressed in grams or grains; only include the number, and not the units of measurement.
  • btypex – optional – the type of bullet (e.g. JHP, FMJ, BHP, ect.).
  • velx – required if bw field is specified – velocity of the bullet at the muzzle, expressed in m/s or ft/s; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
  • enx – required if bw field is specified – energy of the bullet at the muzzle, expressed in J or ft·lbf; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
• test_barrel_length – optional – the length of the barrel used when generating the ballistics data.
• balsrc – optional – the source from which the ballistics data was obtained.
