My estimates for some of the odd sizes of Dutch guns

I now have the basis for starting to estimate Dutch guns. This is a quick attempt, based on what I learned from Nico Brinck and from G.C. Dik's book:
Regular:
  • 2pdr 500 lbs
  • 3pdr 800 lbs
  • 4pdr 1100 lbs
  • 5pdr 1400 lbs
  • 6pdr 1750 lbs
  • 8pdr 2300 lbs
  • 9pdr 2500 lbs
  • 10pdr 2750 lbs
  • 12pdr 3160 lbs
  • 14pdr 3500 lbs
  • 15pdr 3650 lbs
  • 16pdr 3780 lbs
  • 18pdr 3950 lbs
  • 24pdr 4850 lbs
  • 36pdr 6200 lbs

Brass Drakes and Chambered pieces:

  • 4pdr 520 lbs
  • 5pdr 700 lbs
  • 6pdr 850 lbs
  • 8pdr 1100 lbs
  • 10pdr 1360 lbs
  • 12pdr 1540 lbs
  • 15pdr 1850 lbs
  • 18pdr 2150 lbs
  • 24pdr 2800 lbs
  • 36pdr 3650 lbs

I'm hoping that better information might eventually become available, but this is a start.
