There might be enough info on this site: Scroll down past the booklist, and you'll find links to a photo gallery and data list. Another resource Maybe not so good on ammunition, but it looks like a huge collection of historical photography. One minor curiousity is that some of the models on Turbo Squid are labelled "grenade"--I think it's how somebody might have mistranslated German. Suggested Shortlist. German 88mm FLAK 36 (Also the gun on the Tiger 1 tank) German 75mm PAK 40 British 6-pounder (57mm) (also in US service) American 75mm (Sherman tank and some British) The more powerful German ammunition for the Tiger II and the Panther would also be worthwhile. (Yes, I'm thinking of the Vanishing Point range, and their free artiller models.) I know that there's quite a bit of small-arms ammo about. Quite a few rounds are known by different names to different users, and sometimes there are significant differences, such as between the civilian .308 and the military 7.62mm NATO. I'm not going to worry about the odd millimetre, but some designations are misleading. You know that .38 and .357 pistol rounds are te same diameter?
