The 30 mm Caliber is a standard size of heavy machine gun (specifically autocannon) ammunition used by NATO forces.
Unlike its cousin the 25 mm round, the 30 mm is not typically an anti-personnel round.
Military uses 30 mm weapons in their A-10 Thunderbolt II, AH-64 Apache, LAV-25, EFV, and as a standard ship-based munition in the upcoming Mark 46 autocannon.

The 20 mm caliber is a specific size of cannon or autocannon ammunition, commonly the smallest caliber which is unambiguously a cannon (or more commonly today, autocannon) and not a heavy machine gun.
There are relatively few weapons which have been built which fire projectiles between.50 caliber (0.50 inch/12.7 mm, roughly 12 mm caliber) and 20 mm caliber, though the 14.5 mm caliber was used by some Soviet machineguns such as the KPV and antitank rifles such as PTRS and PTRD.
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.

 25 mm caliber - Definition, explanation
The round itself has a length of approximately 8.5 inches (216 mm) while the projectile is approximately 4.5 inches (114 mm).
When operating in an anti-material mode, a 25 mm weapon armed with AP rounds can disable many aircraft and vehicles, including some main battle tanks.
Several sub-types of 25 mm ammunition are available — the most common being Armor Piercing, High explosive, sabot, tracer, and practice rounds.

  CALIBERS (gunsandcrime)
Caliber is expressed in units of either inches or millimeters (mm).
There are also numerous rifle calibers that are identified with usually a two digit decimal number followed by a dash or a slash, then another number.  Examples:.22-250 Remington,.30-.30 Winchester,.25/06 Remington and.30-06.  The meanings of these second numbers are not consistent.  For the "30-aught-six" the 06 refers to the year of invention, 1906.
Handgun calibers are commonly identified as something like "9mm Luger" or 10mm.  These both are cartridges for automatic and semiautomatic handguns.

 The 30 mm Ho-155 Browning
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.
Of course, the heavier 30 mm projectile required more power to achieve a similar trajectory, and the Ho-155 prototype (second image from top) reflects this.

In Neuchâtel, however, it was decided that only watches with a diameter of 30 mm or less would be admitted to the wristwatch competition category from 1949.
As the result, this caliber with a diameter of 34 mm was excluded from the competition.

 Dodge Caliber: little SUVs   (Site not responding. Last check: )
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.

 Assault rifle Summary
Conversely, full-sized military rifle calibers were uncomfortable to fire repeatedly and difficult to control during fully-automatic or rapid fire because of significant recoil; cost of design and manufacture was also higher.
Other individuals have suggested an increase in caliber, to the 6–7 mm range, with rifle round velocities and lower mass bullets: a kind of intermediate philosophy between the smaller caliber–faster modern rounds and the standard caliber–slower rounds of the previous generation.
In the United States, Remington has developed the 6.8 mm Remington SPC cartridge, which is the same overall length at the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO round but fires a bullet the same caliber as the.270 Winchester hunting cartridge.

Drawings were ready on 30 October 1944.The prototype flew in 37 days and plans were made for production to rise rapidly to 4.000 per month Despite extreme difficulties.
In the end, on September 30, 1944, the project submitted by Heinkel was chosen.
The company's technicians had not been especially daunted by the particularly severe requests as far as development time was concerned (the prototype was to have been ready for December 1 and production was to begin exactly a month later) and they prepared the first experimental aircraft in great haste.

The second artillery caliber aboard the ship of the pr.1164 was represented by the 30- mm MZAK AK-630/MR-123 which has already become a standard.
In this caliber the pursuit for the high rate of fire (5000 shots/min) was completely justified, however, here it required the specific victims.
Americans found it: they supplied the 20- mm projectiles of their Vulcan/Phalanx by cores from impoverished uranium, which ensured the creation of thermal pulse, the commensurate with the action detonator of fuse with the entry in warhead.
