Latest revision as of 16:04, 25 July 2022

this is a remake of the previous catalogue as i just couldn't edit it anymore (too old)


here i want to built up a full index that would provide the community with information as accurate and sourced as possible about the french armament and ammunition.


due to the large number of armament, i would put this in order. first it would be sort in order of the calibre, starting from the smallest and ending to the biggest, then i will set them in model's years.

I currently rework the format to be more understandable, using similar format as the Wiki from war thunder for the rounds performance. as i up-date them, i add the tag in the topics. if the gun you look for is not yet tagged, that only mean i either didn't updated it, or just didn't wrote anything about it yet,


i will keep this sort of encyclopedia as complete and up-to-date as possible. any help, correction and suggestion are welcome. if one is missing, it only mean they are not yet added but would probably get listed in his time.
