155 MILLIMETER, fool. There's a difference between millimeters and calibers.

 

I shall explain for those who do not know and are thinking, "Gee, Rune, what is the difference": millimeters is used when measuring the circumpherence of the widest point of the projectile; caliber is the diameter of said area.

Thank you so very much Rune.

 

Most military shell/bullet is measured with millimeters.

 

The only time I ever heard other wise was a Gunship's missiles,Naval cannons,and certain Machine Guns.

How bout an 8in. gun off a Destroyer.

 

If it don't kill you,when you get oriented about your surroundings you won't notice anything familiar.

*now understands why a 9mm round is smaller than a .50 cal round even though 9 is a bigger number thaqn .5*
