Re: Muzzle Velocities of Civil war Weapons and Ballistic Gell
Perhaps you already have this reference:
T. Longmore (1895) Gunshot Injuries: their history, characteristic features, complications, and general treatment, with statistics concerning them as they have been met with in warfare. You may find Chapter Five of special interest, and there likewise appears to have been an earlier edition (1878) perhaps permitting you to compare data.

As you are also interested in how ballistic trajectories are calculated, perhaps the following may be of interest as well:

Essentially, all a master's thesis comprises is a summary of the literature... unless you hope to read for PhD at which point the summary of the literature forms your introductory chapter. But that's also why PhD is called "permanent head damage" -- as afterwards, you'll never look at books quite the same way as you do now.
