Gun performance: 9.2in/45

I have been looking around at what software exists for guns and ships. I have been experimenting with Rick Robinson's "Big Gun" program. I just ran the simulator to generate data for a 9.2in/45 guns with a 380 pound AP shot. Here is an example. The data is the gun elevation, the range that the shot would travel, and the belt and armor penetration. You get two tables. One has output that shows the gun elevation, the range, the time of travel, the terminal velocity, and the fall angle in degrees. The other has the gun elevation, the range, the belt and deck penetration, based on parameters that you supply to the program. Rick includes his C source code with the download.
