The Meaninn of "callber."

All who have to do with firearms
know that the word "caliber" refers to
the diameter Of the bore OF a shoot
ing piece. Thus a pistol Of .22-caliber
means one in which the bullet is TWEEN
ty-two one hundredths of an inch in
diameter, while a 45-caliber means
one with diameter of forty-fve one
hundreths- There is, however, more
extended use of the word, which IS IN
derstood by comparatively few people
outside of army and navy circles and
gunmakers. A .50-caliber 6-inch gun, :
says a naval man, means one that is
so times six inches, or % feet long,
the length being given in terms OF the
diameter of the bore. In the same
way 1915 pistol means one the bar
rel of which is ten times the diameter,
or four and half inches long. This
nomenclature is found convenient be
cause the shooting qualities of a piece
depend IN some measure on the ratio
of its length to its diameter"
