What does caliber measure in firearms?

Caliber refers to the internal diameter of a gun barrel or dimensionless multiples of bore diameter for barrel length.

Is centiinch a commonly used unit?

No, centiinch is a nonstandard unit primarily used for expressing dimensions in hundredths of an inch informally.

Can I use this conversion for official documentation?

Due to centiinch’s nonstandard status, careful consideration is advised before using it in formal or international documentation.
