Some gearheady stuff on firedust, especially as it relates to naval weapons. Many of these calculations assume that firedust has approximately the same density as black powder.
Contents
Use
= Firewands and Flame Pieces
A charge of firedust sufficient for one shot from a firewand or flame piece weighs 1 oz and has a volume of 2 tablespoons. (For the metric among us, that's 28.35 grams and 2.957 centiliters.)
Fire Cannon
Fire projector: 3 oz charge
Heavy fire cannon: 20 oz charge
Superheavy fire cannon: 45 oz charge
Shore Cannon: 60 oz charge
Demolitions, Mines, and Torpedoes
Incindiary Weapons
Storage and Transport
1 pound of firedust takes up 2 cups of space. (or, more conveniently for calculation, 1 kg firedust = 2.2 liters. Which means that firedust floats!)
Firedust kegs and barrels are typically waterproof, and often charmed to reduce fire risk.
Tare weight = the weight of the package and any associated materials.
Hrm. Notes on general trade goods: Current California wine barrel: 125 lbs empty, 59 gallons. (600 pounds full) Costs $450-$700.
