Assuming the question is in regard to firearms and ammunition, you can read the "caliber" of a round as a decimal how wide the bullet is in inches. So a .40 caliber round is .4 inches wide, or about 10.16 millimeters wide. A .45 caliber round would be .45", so a little bit fatter than the .40 caliber round. The caliber doesn't tell the whole story of a round though, it doesn't say how long the bullet is, how heavy, how big the casing behind the round is, how much kinetic energy is hits with, etc. The .40 S&W round has an average of 425 ft/lbs of energy right at the muzzle, while the .45 ACP, a "bigger" round, has about 400 ft/lbs.
The manufacturer is spelled Barrett (Barrett Firearms Manufacturing), builder of the M82 and XM500 .50 caliber sniper rifles that fire the 12.7x99mm NATO round (Browning machine gun round).
DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you're talking about firearms, caliber refers to the diameter of the bullet or the bore size of of the gun.
yes they did
there are dozens of calibers from .17 to .70
This is the approximate size of a .45 caliber round, the conversion being .443 inches.
The term "model22cal22mag" is not specific enough to provide a breakdown. In firearms, "cal" typically refers to caliber, and "mag" may refer to a magnum round. If you're referring to a specific gun model or caliber, please provide more context for a detailed breakdown.
Any that have the appropriate sized barrel
50-260 or so
In the usual sense of caliber, it means the diameter of the bullet. The smallest commercial caliber is the .17 rimfire, but there have been MUCH smaller caliber firearms, down to the 1-2 mm range. That is about .05 to .10 caliber.
