There is no such thing as a 30mm "caliber." It is either 30mm or 30 caliber not both.

Go read caliber. You are getting confused with the use of cal as a shorthand for "inch calibre". GraemeLeggett 08:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Size

We need a picture of the 30 x 173 mm NATO and 30 x 164 mm Soviet lined up with a common rifle round, like a .30-06 or .50 BMG. It would give the reader a btter sense of scale, methinks.

Which ammo is used in what application? 67.189.62.204 (talk) 06:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Alex
