Section (a) (20). Hrsg. L. 99–308, § 101 Abs. 5, ggf. ABS. 20 allgemein. Before the amendment, para. (20) read as follows: “The term “crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year” does not include (A) federal or state offenses related to breaches of understanding, unfair trade practices, trade restrictions, or other similar offenses related to the regulation of business practices that the Secretary may designate by order, or (B) any state offence (other than that involving a firearm or a firearm or a firearm). explosives), punishable under the laws of the State as an offence and punishable by deprivation of liberty for two years or less. For firearms, especially firearms, the caliber (or caliber; sometimes abbreviated as “cal”) is the specified nominal inside diameter of the barrel bore of the barrel – regardless of how the bore is measured and whether the finished hole complies with this specification. [1] It is measured in inches or millimeters. [2] In the United States, it is expressed in hundredths of an inch; in the United Kingdom in thousandths; and elsewhere in millimeters.
For example, a “45-gauge” firearm has a barrel diameter of about 0.45 inches (11 mm). Barrel diameters can also be expressed with metric dimensions. For example, a “9 mm gun” has a barrel diameter of about 9 millimeters. Because metric units and U.S. common units are not uniformly converted on this scale, metric conversions of measured caliber in decimal inches are usually approximations of exact specifications in non-metric units and vice versa. 1994 — Paragraph (a)(17)(B).

Earlier cartridge weapon manufacturers had to invent methods for naming cartridges, as there was no established convention at that time. [3] One of the first cartridge weapons established was the Spencer repeating rifle, which Union troops used during the American Civil War. It was named on the basis of the dimensions of the chamber and not the diameter of the bore, the first cartridge being called “No. 56” cartridge and indicated a chamber diameter of 0.56 inches; The diameter of the bore varied widely, from 0.52 to 0.54 inches. Later, various derivatives were produced with the same basic cartridge, but with balls of smaller diameter; These were named after the diameter of the cartridge on the bottom and mouth. The original No. 56 was the .56-56 and the smaller versions .56-52, .56-50 and .56-46. The 56-52, the most common of the new calibers, used a 50-cal bullet. 1968 – Subsection (a).
