	20 mm caliber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like most cannon ammunition, 20 mm caliber weapons are typically used against large targets such as vehicles, buildings, or aircraft.
		Though effective against individual soldiers, 20 mm ammunition is so large and heavy that its effects are nearly all wasted on relatively small targets.
		Cartridge type indicates the diameter of projectile and the length of the cartridge that holds it, for example 20×102 is a 20 mm projectile in a 102 mm long case.

		One of the 20 mm guns is mounted on the starboard side and the other is mounted on the port side.
		The 20 mm gun on the PTF (and other small craft) was originally designed in the early 1930’s for use on aircraft.
		The 20 mm gun may be mounted in an open mount arrangement, as on the PTF, or in an enclosed mount (fig.

		The term.50 caliber means the bullet is half an inch in diameter, and 90 mm is about 3.54 inches.
		A 20 mm (.787 inch) was available to shoot, but my wife and I contented ourselves with shooting a considerably smaller bolt-action.50, owned by a resident of Boulder County.
		The.50 caliber is sometimes considered a "sniper rifle," but a common military sniper rifle is the.308, similar to the.30-06.

	Dodge Caliber: little SUVs
		Size-wise, the Caliber is similar to the Matrix, though it seems a bit wider and lower — like the Commander, it looks taller than it is; it isn’t all that high but seems to have nice interior space.
		While the Caliber is neither as slippery as the first-generation Neon nor as light, both of which make its performance nowhere near as good as a stick-shift Neon, it has more cargo space, more passenger room, and higher safety and emissions standards...not to mention a high performance diesel option for Europeans.
		The Caliber SRT-4 blasts the XRS out of the water, but is rated at the same acceleration as the Neon SRT-4; it is probably safer and easier to drive, though.

	The 30 mm Ho-155 Browning
		This gun was intended to replace the 20 mm Ho-5, using the same airframe space for mounting if possible.
		The caliber was soon expanded to 30 mm, and development of the Ho-155 around the 30 x 115 cartridge began in 1943.
		While a 25 mm projectile holds about 1.5 times the explosive of a 20 mm projectile of the same length, a 30 mm projectile holds 2.25 times the 20 mm, justifying the change.

		Before the introduction of the 7.62 × 51 mm NATO in the 1950s, standard military calibers utilised were the.30-06 Springfield (United States),.303 British (United Kingdom) and 7.92 × 57 mm (8 mm Mauser) (Germany).
		These rifles tend to be semi-automatic, and of a larger calibre than anti-personnel rifles, using.50 calibre (12.7 mm, such as the.50 BMG and Raufoss Mk211) or even 20 mm cartridges.
		The maximum range of common 7.62 × 51 mm NATO ammunition is a comparatively tremendous 3,725 meters, and both machine guns and sniper rifles are not able to use even half of the maximum range of the ammunition effectively, largely due to unpredictable atmospheric disturbance of the bullet flight path.

		However, there are many examples of much larger caliber weapons that have been fitted aboard aircraft in the past.
		The M4 cannon was replaced by a lighter T13E1 75-mm cannon, and several more 0.50-inch caliber machine guns were added to the nose and pods mounted along the fuselage.
		Also known as the "Tse Tse Fly," this particular model was armed with four 0.303-inch caliber machine guns and a single 57-mm cannon in the nose.

	Antitank weapons used by the Finns in Winter War, Part 2
		Initially a 13 mm caliber was the favorite alternative but in 1939 a decision was also reached to also construct two 20 mm weapons for tests in mid 1939.
		Theoretically, the difference of muzzle velocity and penetration between the 13 mm and 20 mm wasn't big, but the 20 mm round had superior fragmentation effect when it penetrated the armor.
		While the caliber of the weapon was quite small, the gun was said to be adequately effective against the T-26 tanks, and lighter vehicles.

		The only current free-swinging weapon was the.50 caliber machine gun, which was lacking in range and firepower.
		Reception was enthusiastic as a more than welcome replacement for the.50 caliber, production was slow to quickly replace all of the.50 Cal, so in the early months most air-defenses continued to rely on the.50-caliber.
