Caliber (Inches): A gun's caliber is the measure of the internal diameter of the gun barrel. Caliber can be measured either in inches or in millimeters. It is common to drop the decimal point when speaking of a gun's caliber in inches. For example, one would typically say "twenty-two caliber" to describe a .22 inch caliber handgun. Caliber (Inches)
