Thanks for the PDF. I will have a look and see if I can make some simple approximations as I did with the Gurney equations for grenades.

Yeah, those engineers. Why can't they be like experimental physicists. Close counts to build the experiment, as long as we don't end up blowing up the planet..... usually.
