Thinking about it in Freedom Units, I'm not entirely sure why wire gauge is larger the smaller the number is, but bullet caliber is larger the number is. I guess that's the price of Freedom... /s

(OK, I do actually understand calibers, but the wire thing probably has something to do with like oxen drawing per feet or some weird measurement, just like rail gauge & train tunnel widths being the measure of horses' asses side by side)
