The response payload.

The load the figures are for.

Slug of the load the table was computed for.

Display name, as the maker writes it.

Slug of the cartridge. Resolve against /v1/calibers/{id}.

Barrel length in millimetres, measured from the breech face.

Muzzle velocity in metres per second, for the default load.

Muzzle energy in joules, for the default load.

Effective range in metres against a point target.

Terminal performance indices computed at the muzzle.

Taylor Knock-Out factor.

Momentum in kilogram-metres per second.

Bullet mass divided by the square of its diameter. Higher penetrates better, all else equal.

Hatcher Relative Stopping Power.

Energy per unit frontal area, in joules per square centimetre.

The solution sampled at each requested distance.

Distance from the muzzle in metres.

Remaining velocity at this distance, in metres per second.

Remaining energy at this distance, in joules.

Bullet drop below the line of sight at this distance, in centimetres.

Time of flight to this distance, in seconds.

Velocity as a multiple of the speed of sound. Below ~1.2 the projectile is transonic and destabilises.

Momentum in kilogram-metres per second.

Taylor Knock-Out factor at this distance.

Energy per unit frontal area, in joules per square centimetre.
