Based on
this post, I am compiling a list of various BT missiles and rockets, and comparing their masses compared to various real-life missiles and rockets. This is to provide the ability to make a rough comparison between existing munitions, new munitions, and how they compare to real-life weaponry of similar mass.
BT weapon data has been sourced from sarna and MML, real-life weapons have a URL linking them to the location where I found the data. I am not using home designs for this list, to prevent someone from designing an ultra-light ASF with a fusion engine (regular, Light, XL, or XXL) with drone controls to serve as a ramming drone.

If edits need to be made or other missiles should be added to this list, please send them to me via PM so they can be added to this post. If it gets too large, I will split it between two or more posts. Items added will have large text incorporating an arrow pointing at them with the date they were added, and that notification will be removed after it has been there for a month.
