What does caliber measure in firearms?

Caliber denotes the internal diameter of a gun barrel or is used as a multiple of that diameter to express barrel length.

What is an attometer used for?

An attometer is an SI unit equal to one quintillionth of a meter, used mainly in subnuclear physics and high-energy particle measurements.

Why convert from caliber to attometer?

Converting caliber to attometer is useful for high-precision physics or engineering calculations requiring expression of firearm barrel dimensions at extremely small length scales.
