There is no "30 guage" firearm. The term Gauge is used to denote the diameter of a shotgun barrel- the smaller the number, the larger the barrel. Rifles and handguns are denoted in calibers- caliber being one inch, and expressed as decimal fractions in 1/100th of an inch. If you are trying to compare a 20 gauge shotgun to a .30 caliber rifle, the 20 guage is about .690 caliber, versus .308 caliber for the rifle. Shotgun is much gigger in this case.

But if there were a 30 gauge, the 20 gauge would be larger.

Can you splice a 10 ga wire to a 20 ga wire?

30 gauge wire is much "thinner" than 10 gauge wire. Hence, if you are using 10 gauge for an application requiring only 30 gauge, it will more than handle any current flow. However, if the application requires 10 gauge wire you cannot use 30 gauge wire.
