Could be argued 44 magnum and 45 acp are more iconic than 9mm luger but the americans also uses the mm for 5.56 and 7.62 wich are nato standards. Funnily enough they dont extend this too the 50 bmg wich is called 12.7 where im from.

If the caliber is given in gauge or bore its the pound of lead i think. So a 12 gauge shotgun is the diameter of 1/12pound lead ball
I been using itfor for years realy loved the layout.
Caliber can be based on a lot of things. Gauge and bore for exampel is based on the mass/volume (density?) of lead
Some bullets if they are nato standard or originated in europe. But other wise it can be based in inch or how many round balls you can make by dividing one pound of lead
0.5 too point 0.2
Things get a bit murky with the volounters of eastern europe there was a ss division from balticum that after the war where put as guards at nurnberg.
Where did you get that?
Its easier too carry a depressed mouse than a depressed halfman
No too my knowledge the titwl was never localised in any way besides too accomadate other languages ways of writing fahrenheit
