Was the Russian pound (funt) uised to clasiffy guns
equal to the British pound or was simply Russian one
In this second way all Russian guins will be iferior

I have the question regarding Russian guns of XIX centuary
Gun caliber was measured in artillery pounds (=490 g, almost same as French pound of 489.5 g), gunshot - in Russian trade pounds (=409.5 g); thus, a 36-pdr gun had shot weight of 43 Russian pounds. Thus, Russian guns had weight of shot by about 8% more than the British guns of the same caliber; ratio of Russian/British shots' weights was roughly same as ratio of French/British ones.
