Is 7.63 caliber a 32 caliber?

a .32 acp caliber pistol round is also called a 7.65mm in the metric designation. But that doesn't fit the real-world measurements, because a .32 pistol bullet is really more like .30 or .31 caliber, and 7.8mm in metric measurements. The diameters of a 7.63 bullet and a .32 caliber bullet are similar, but that doesn't mean they're the same "caliber" or that they will fit the same guns. The 7.62 mm family of rifles are often called ".30 caliber" and they really are close to that, with the bullets either .308 or .311 diameter.


How do you calculate caliber?

"caliber" as used in the firearms world can either mean just the bullet diameter, or the inside measure of bore diameter, expressed as a decimal fraction of an inch. And "caliber" can also mean the complete name of a specific cartridge, which might be quite different from some other one using the same caliber bullets. Examples: The caliber ".357 magnum" uses .357" (or 357/1000 inch) bullets. The caliber ".308 Winchester" uses .308" bullets. But the caliber ".30-06 Springfield" ALSO uses those same .308 bullets. But it's a different "caliber" because it's not the same cartridge. The .30-06 has a much longer case that holds more gunpowder.

Can swords block bullets?

Yes, swords can block bullets. Bullets can fly really fast but you need to learn how to block fast flying bullets with a sword. <><><> No, swords do not block bullets. If they did, police officers would be carrying swords. A bullet from a large caliber handgun or high powered rifle has enough energy to snatch the sword from your hand, break your hand, and shatter the blade of the sword. What works in anime does not always work in the real world.
