It seems best to start with the M18A1 Claymore, HT p. 189, which has a clear description of the effects. Most of the weapons under "Cannon", pp. HT 138-141 list damage for canister, shrapnel or beehive, depending on what they used.
I don't see rules on High Tech pages 172-174 for hitting multiple targets with multiple-projectile ammunition. Could you explain where you see them?

The rules for a Claymore mine specify the shape of the area effected and spell out rules similar to the Fragmentation rules.
