Do you guys know how heavy a shell the Russian 152mm SPGs fire? I’m trying to determine the blast radius of another, larger caliber gun, so I’m trying to scale from known systems with a factor of W^1/3.
Thanks for any help!

The shells fired from the 203mm SPGs (like 2S7 Pion) range from 110kgs for the standard HE or submunition round to 102kgs for the extended range Rocket assisted Projectile.
152mm shells used by D-20 towed or 2S19 SPG have a weight of about 41kgs to 43kgs depending upon the type.
(130mm rounds weigh 33.4kgs, while 122mm rounds weigh about 22kgs).
