Heya.

I'm trying to convert the firearm damage codes to a more realistic standard, basing everything off of calibre and so on. Now I can't just wander off to a firing range or the like, so I need some help here working out a few odds and sods.

Between myself and my host of army friends, we're relatively happy with the pistol and rifle calibre of weaponry, but we have no exprience with shotguns. Between common sense, old Cthuhlu damage codes and wikipedia I've made a start on it, but I have no idea how accurate or realistic any of the shotgun codes are.

Anyway, if someone with more knowledge than myself could take a look over the list below, I'd be grateful. If you have anything to say/add about any of the firearms, then feel free, general input is great anyway.

I'm not sure if any other mods I'm putting in to the system are important right now, as I hungover and not thinking on a bigger scale, so I'll just past them and see where we get.

Oh yeah and I haven't got to choke settings yet, but I'm working it out in my head.

Anyway, thanks for any help in advance.

Edit : Just wanted to add. I know a lot of the codes for calibre are repeated all the way along, but a couple of members of our group have no knowledge of firearms at all, so it's for their convience.
