Of course it does. It's the detailed compromise between caliber and barrel size that makes wonders

I thought rate of fire was more important! If my gun is not as big as yours, but can fire more often, I can do more damage!!

Agreed, but you also have to consider the accuracy of your.....shells:p

We need to consider loading time between shots

A fundamental issue here could centre on how quickly you fire your weapon :hmm:

Disagree: it's not all about the size of a gun. It doesn't have to be big, as size doesn't matter. It has to be long and thick.

And yes, reload time is also quite important. Any machine gunners here?
