The 3"/50 is called that because it's a way of describing the barrel length relative to the shell they fire. The second number multiplied by the shell size is the length of the barrel, so a 3"/50 is 3" x 50 = 150" long and a 4"/50 if 200" long and a 5"/25 is 125" long. You can see at a glance the relative lengths.

It's all mental!! Only in English would you have a word like caliber that means three different things. Inside of a barrel, outside of a wire, and barrel length relative to its diameter. So the caliber is the size of the shell but, the caliber is the barrel length relative to its caliber. Wait. No. Its caliber is its diameter. no.... its length relative to its caliber is its caliber. That can't be it....I'll get it.....I'm getting a headache.

@Webster, when I said the gun uses an 88mm shell, I meant in game not in real life. So there are some messed up guns. I don't know on the AA guns, I never checked them. And the basic.cfg I have never even looked at.


Edit: woops typo in my other post. The second gun is a 4/50 not a 4/40.
