Caliber

Caliber is a term used to describe the internal diameter of a cylindrical object, most commonly the inside diameter of a gun barrel or firearm bore. It is typically measured in inches or millimeters.

In firearms, caliber indicates the diameter of the bullet or projectile that can be fired from the barrel (e.g., a .45 caliber means the barrel’s internal diameter is 0.45 inches).
In other contexts, such as engineering or piping, caliber can refer more generally to the diameter or thickness of tubes or cylindrical objects.

Key points:

Caliber = internal diameter of a barrel or tube
Measured in inches or millimeters
Important for firearm specifications and ammunition compatibility
Also used in engineering and manufacturing

Caliber is crucial for matching ammunition to firearms and for defining performance characteristics like velocity and accuracy.

Hand

A hand is a traditional unit of length primarily used to measure the height of horses. It is equal to 4 inches or 10.16 centimeters.

The origin of the hand as a measurement comes from using the width of a human hand, and it has been standardized at 4 inches for consistency in horse measurement. Horse height is expressed in "hands," measured from the ground to the highest point of the withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades).

Key points:

1 hand = 4 inches
1 hand = 10.16 centimeters
Used mainly for measuring horse height
Horse height is often given in hands and inches, e.g., 15.2 hands means 15 hands plus 2 inches

The hand remains the standard unit for horse height in many English-speaking countries.
