Summary
Caliber: The caliber of a handgun or rifle is typically described as the diameter of the bore, although this can sometimes vary depending on how the diameter is measured. For example, a 0.38 bullet refers to a bullet that can be fired along a bore that measures 0.38 inches in diameter. The caliber is expressed in inches in the United States (e.g., 0.45 inches) or millimeter (mm) in other countries (e.g., 9 mm).
