Yes, the larger the gauge the smaller the needle size.
The size of a needle is typically expressed by its gauge, which is a numerical scale where a higher number indicates a thinner needle. For example, a 30-gauge needle is finer than an 18-gauge needle. Additionally, needle sizes may also be described by their length and type (e.g., hollow bore, straight, or curved) depending on their intended use in medical procedures or sewing.
No, a 20-gauge needle is smaller than an 18-gauge needle. The gauge number indicates the diameter of the needle, with a lower gauge number signifying a larger diameter. Therefore, an 18-gauge needle is thicker and has a larger bore compared to a 20-gauge needle.

The measure related to the diameter of the bore and the size of the shotgun shell is known as "gauge." The gauge is determined by the number of lead balls of the bore diameter that equal one pound; for example, a 12-gauge shotgun has a bore diameter that allows for 12 lead balls of that diameter to weigh one pound. The smaller the gauge number, the larger the bore size. This system is commonly used to classify shotguns and their corresponding ammunition.

25 gauge is the size of the needle not the syringe. they are measured in cc's
A 20-gauge refers to the size of a shotgun, indicating the diameter of the shotgun bore. The gauge number is inversely related to the size of the bore; specifically, a 20-gauge shotgun has a bore diameter of .615 inches and is smaller than larger gauges like 12-gauge. The 20-gauge is popular for its balance of manageable recoil and effective performance, making it suitable for various hunting and shooting activities.
Refers to shotgun bore size. Specifically, it refers to the number of lead balls of that bore size that it takes to make one pound. A twenty gauge takes 20 balls to the pound where a 12 gauge takes 12 balls.
