A brief (yeah.. it actually is brief for those of you who fear my ability to blabber) look into the difference between firearm calibers and shotgun gauges.

Thanks for the inspiration, Dad. Love you.

  • Nice presentation. Just one little helper. The guage is the number of lead balls OF EQUAL SIZE (sorry about the capitals, had to emphaize that) that make one pound of lead that equal to the diameter of the bore. Really nice videos. Nice of you to do this.

  • Well.. a ball is a ball and diameter is diameter ... if the diameter of the ball is equal to the diameter of the bore then that means all the balls will be of equal size.

  • And I should care about what you think of my hair and makeup, why? Remind me of what this has to do with the subject matter?

  • Wow, Lima. You have done it again. I had no idea why a 12 gauge was called that, and now I do.

    And as GI Joe always said, knowing is half the battle. Great video.

  • I love your wit in responding to the negative or contradictory responses. For those of you arguing inches and millimeters, get icer it, you're both right (sort of) @limalife, thanks for the knowledge drop, keep up the good work.

  • you should have been my math teacher

  • .410 is the same as 36 gauge... i bought a .410 remington that said on the inside of the forearm, 36 gauge so thats the gauge of a .410

  • Awesome vid. Subscribed. Now start making more videos, missy!

  • you can have either a 8 , 6 or 4 gauge too...

  • @romeoneverdies yes... that's one the meaning definition...

  • if you can't do math very well, or are just lazy: 10 gauge - .775 inch 12 gauge - .730 inch 16 gauge - .670 inch 20 gauge - .615 inch 28 gauge - .550 inch 67 gauge - .410 inch

  • You're so hot, are you spoken for?
