What does 'caliber' refer to?

  1. The weight of the bullet

  2. The length of the barrel

  3. The size of a rifle or handgun bore and cartridges

  4. The gun's firing mechanism

The correct answer is: The size of a rifle or handgun bore and cartridges

Caliber refers to the size of the bore (inner diameter) of a gun as well as the size of the corresponding ammunition. Option A, the weight of the bullet, is not the same as the caliber. Option B, the length of the barrel, is also not the same as caliber since a larger bore can have a shorter barrel. Option D, the firing mechanism, is a different aspect of a gun and is not related to caliber.
