I am an occaisional reader of sci.military, not being up on tech specs.
However, I think this would probably be the best place to ask the following
questions.

What would be good literature for information on small arms from 1930 to
present?  I need specific information including weight of bullet, weight of
charge (powder), length of barrel, etc.
I have copious information on black powder weapons of the 1800s and a good
source on weapons employed in the US/colonies from the mid-1700s to the
Civil War.


Thank you for any information.



(PS:  I might also like information on the "medium" arms of WWII to the 
present, including MGs and AT weaponry.)

I have already exhausted the local libraries, they have sources, but none
of them have the specs that I want.
