Are any data (means, standard deviations, etc.) available that show the angular, distance, or timing error distributions that occur with the use of military equipment, such as gimbals (e.g., how much angular error occurs when setting the gimbal to specific angles)?

Microdiode Laser Primers – A Path Forward
The concept of using lasers to ignite propellant and energetic material is not new. At the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command-Armaments Center (DEVCOM-AC) at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, the Army explored efforts to use external mounted lasers for medium- and large-caliber weapons systems, with modest success in the 1980s through 2010.
Analysis of Powder, Bullet, and Barrel Interactions
All ammunition makers and reloaders “know” that changing propellant type can affect the group size (dispersion) of the ammunition they make. Why changing powders affects bullet group size is more than a matter of propellant burnout prior to muzzle exit or some other easily definable characteristic. This article details the investigations undertaken to better understand this phenomenon and why it occurs.
