Powder and velocity limits in government artillery tests
The powder superintendent explains how government contracts require guns to meet minimum projectile velocity and maximum pressure. Modern guns store vast energy. examples from Oregon's 18 inch shell show 550 pounds of powder propelling a 1100 pound shot at 2100 feet per second, with energy around 34000 foot tons. Electric chronographs measure projectile timing to the nailionth of a second, about a tenth of a billionth.
