Assuming you mean caliber, the caliber simply refers to the diameter of the bullet the gun is designed to fire. American cartridge sizes are expressed as tenths or hundredths of an inch, and European cartridges sizes are expressed as millimeter. A .40 caliber gun fires a bullet that is .40 of an inch in diameter. A 9 millimeter gun fires a bullet that is 9 millimeters in diamter. There are too many variations to list here, but some common handgun calibers are 9 millimeter, 10 millimeter, .40 SW, .38 special, .44 magnum, .45 ACP, .380 ACP.
