I think he may have mentioned before that it wasn't quite right for cannon performance, but I may be misremembering.
But what about the ammunition? Like how to stat the weight, cost, and volume of a CTA round?

I can do the damage figures. The problem here is the ammunition's weight, cost, and volume modifiers. For example, if I want to make a CTA gun, what modifiers are needed?
