Barrel Length Explanation: Sorry, I made a mistake before. First of all I wanted to write Bore Length. I was in a hurry because I was going out. I got back and I saw......and I found a better translation, I think. Calibre: the internal diameter of the bore of a gun, and consequently of the ammunition or shot fired from it. Barrel length was often quoted in 'calibres' (ie. 12"/45cal would be 45 x 12" long). (taken from Conways: Steam, Steel and Shellfire) http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/8163/trivia.htm http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/usnshtp/bb/cc1.htm (Search for: "50 caliber") Ciao, M. |
