From the article: "Modern tank guns (around 120 mm calibre)" I believe that caliber only refers to inch measurements. A 9mm pistol is not a 9mm caliber pistol.

Caliber is used with metric bore measurements as well. The Jane's Infantry Weapons description of autocannon uses calibre and metric bore measurements together. W. B. Wilson 13:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
