I am humbled by your hardware!

- ok, my last girlfriend did not say that... but I mean it. I might regret this, but you need to tell me; what's the caliber of that thing?

Well, that's actually not me, and that's actually not mine; but I believe that's a .50 caliber. ;)
 
"In guns including firearms, caliber or calibre is the approximate diameter of the barrel and by extension the projectile used in it, measured in inches or millimeters." - Wikipedia

People often forget that the .50 cal, is just short for .50 in caliber. :) Also, the length of the barrel is usually given as a multiple of the caliber. So the correct measurements are 20mm L/65 barrel, 20x138mm projectile.
 
This thread scares the **** out of me.... maybe the 1-post complainers should be directed here :D

Right.

It's a .50 caliber.

That's what I said.

:D
 
No it is actually 20mm! Which is not 12.7mm (.50 caliber). It is 154.7% larger in diameter and much more in mass.
