A gauge (in American English; known as a bore in Commonwealth English) of a firearm is a unit of measurement used to express the inner diameter (bore diameter) and other necessary parameters to define in general a smoothbore barrel (compare to caliber, which defines a barrel with rifling and its cartridge).
The analysis highlights History, Applications, Measurement and Art as prominent areas in the source structure around Gauge (firearms).
