Representative muzzle velocity in metres per second.

Representative muzzle energy in joules.

Primer size and type, e.g. small_pistol, large_rifle, rimfire.

Head type: rimmed, rimless, semi_rimmed, rebated_rim, belted, plus historical values like cap_and_ball. Not the broad class. The registry said pistol/rifle/shotgun until the column was read, and it holds neither.

Case profile: straight, bottleneck, tapered, belted.

none is a blank.

Bullet shape: fmj, hollow_point, soft_point, spitzer, round_nose.

How completely the record is specified and how well it is sourced, 0 to 1. A record-level completeness and provenance measure, not a per-field probability of correctness. Use it to rank and triage; use sources to verify an individual number.

JSON array of the fields the source stated.

When a field we serve last changed. Maintained by the database rather than by whatever wrote the row, so it moves for a corrected specification and does not move for a re-run of the importer.

Opaque fingerprint of this record. It changes when and only when a field we serve changes, so a client holding the same value already has the record and need not fetch it. Equality is the only supported operation: do not parse it, and do not assume how it is computed. Null means the record has not been written since versioning began, not that it is unchanged.

Where a record's figures came from and how far they have been checked, in one place. sources are the pages consulted; check a specific figure against those. sourceKinds says what each page is and bestSourceKind the strongest of them, on the hierarchy SourceKind defines: a maker or standards-body page is evidence for a figure, a retailer or forum page is evidence the item exists. dataConfidence is the 0 to 1 score set from what was actually sourced and never raised by hand. verifiedAt and verifiedFields say when a source was last read against the record and which fields it stated; null means the row is still seed knowledge. updatedAt and version are the same cache signals the record carries at the top level.
