This is what the ledger can account for. Where no figure has been published for this aggregate in a country, the calibres it covers are added up instead, and those are never all of them, so the real total is higher.
Some lines report in other units and are not included in the totals.

What it adds up to
Each country, broken down into the calibres this aggregate covers. A figure stated for the aggregate itself is the headline and the calibres are what it breaks into, never an addition to it; with none, the calibres the ledger holds are added up and the answer is a floor.

Capacity target Reported medium"More than", recorded as a lower bound. Stated for CSG as a whole; the release names no country and gives no date for it. Large-calibre ammunition of mixed calibres, so it sits on the 100 mm-and-above aggregate rather than one shell.
