I'm currently working on a project about landmines, and have a file about the alternative use of claymores and Automatic Grenade Launchers as possible replacements for the typical step-on-it-and-lose-your-leg type of mine. The appendix contains a section that allows you to calculate the velocity and impact force of a fragment, given the weight/distance/drag coefficient/and imparted energy (the "gurney" value) of the explosive charge (of known weight) upon the fragments.
This is all well and good...if you already know the gurney value of the explosive at hand...which I haven't a clue as to what they would be. :(
I've seen a reference to a TM that has a table of Gurney values for various military explosives. I don't remember which one it was, though I remember looking at the online FM/TM library (ATCALL or something like that) when I did know what it was. Does anyone know where I could find this table, or have a copy of it?
Thanks in advance.
