What does caliber measure?

Caliber denotes the internal diameter of a gun barrel, often expressed in inches or millimeters, and sometimes as a multiple of that diameter to describe barrel length.

What is a fermi used for?

A fermi is used to express very small lengths, such as nuclear radii and nucleon separation distances, on the scale of atomic nuclei.

Why convert caliber to fermi?

Converting caliber to fermi allows comparison or calculation involving firearm barrel dimensions and atomic-scale lengths, mostly for theoretical or illustrative purposes.
