The response payload.

The compared firearms, in the order their ids were given.

Integer flag, 1 when a 3D model is on file. Stored as the database holds it rather than as a boolean.

Line-art silhouette, or null where none has been drawn.

GLB model, or null where none is on file.

The ammunition load ballistics figures are quoted against, where one is nominated.

Muzzle velocity in metres per second exactly as the source stated it, kept beside our own figure so a reader can see what was quoted and what was derived.

Muzzle energy in joules exactly as the source stated it.

Effective range in metres exactly as the source stated it.

Maximum range in metres exactly as the source stated it.

Where the ballistics figures came from, named in prose.

URL of the ballistics source, where it is a page rather than a book.

URL-safe slug identifying the firearm, e.g. glock-17-gen5. Stable: it is what a mirror keys on.

Display name, as the maker writes it.

Per-field differences across the compared firearms, one entry per numeric field.

Which column the row is about, named as the database names it.

This field on each compared firearm, in the order the ids were given. Null where that record does not carry the field.

Lowest value across the compared firearms. Null when fewer than two of them carry the field.

Highest value across the compared firearms. Null when fewer than two of them carry the field.

Spread from the lowest value, as a percentage of it: (max - min) / min * 100, rounded to two places. Null when the minimum is zero or fewer than two records carry the field.
