Hello, I am wondering whether anyone can help me with the formula for converting pounds into Millimetres. As in What would the xxx Pounder Field Artillery piece convert to in millimetres?
Pounds/millimeters. Hi Cobber, I don't think there is a table for conversion from pounds/millimeters. If you are after the calliber of each weapon, each will have to be looked up in that guns specification. A Gun is designated either by the standard missile it fires and/or the size of its bore. I should think, because of the variety of weights of the various types of round, this would not be possible to be laid down as a table. As an ex Field Gunner I can tell you that the bore of a 25 pdr is 3.45" or about 85mm. I am posting examples of the various types of shell fired, to give you an idea of the different weights of each round. Cheers Keith DCLI
