[Spaceships] Conventional and EM Gun ranges in atmosphere?

While they're a bit large, you might be able to use Douglas Cole's spreadsheet (if you have it; the Google doc for it appears to be down) for the calculations. Caliber and muzzle velocity (1 mps for conventional, 2 mps for EM) are easy enough. Rounds designed for use in space might not be very aerodynamic, but it's probably best to assume they have the same general shape as typical artillery shells.
