    Just wondering if anyone knows of a site that either sells or contains a large database of weapons specifications i.e Rifle name, origin, calibre, ROF, muzzle velocity, range...all the usual stats you'd expect the manufactors to give. Looking for this information on all types of military Assault rifles, Pistols, Machine Guns (all types), sniper rifles etc. Anyone any ideas? Anyone in the PDF or RDF might recognise the type of info im looking for on each weapon. cheers

    Cheers, thats a start. Any idea where they might sell these kinds of datasheets on CD or similar

    Sounds like you want a copy of Jane's or something similar...

    This might be of interest - exploded drawings of a huge number of firearms.

    What is 'Janes' exactly? there both good sites above but seem only to contain pictures, no stats

    Janes Information Group CB, they've been collating data like this for decades...

    Admittedly, their prices are rather steep :D
    See here.

    Holy ****!!! Those prices are unreal, although they are intended for government agencies and private security firms. I wonder if similar information can be sourced elsewhere...great link though, cheers
