  1. Ego Alter In naval artillery, caliber is used to describe barrel length. Thus a 16 inch, 50 caliber naval rifle has a 16" bore, and the barrel is 50x16, or 800 inches, which is close to 67 feet long, and a 5 inch 38 caliber naval rifle has a barrel that's 38x5, or 190 inches, which is a little less than 16 feet. This was explained to me by a guy on the USS New Jersey, an Iowa class battleship that is now a museum (and certainly one worth visiting if you're ever in the Philadelphia area). However, in small arms, caliber refers to bore diameter. This can be confusing, as both .50 and .38 are common enough calibers for small arms.

  2. Sporting purposes? I didn't know shoulder dislocation was a sport. What is that behemoth designed to do?
