Gestour, if you are listening, then I want you to make a mod that includes multiple cannons, like the .38 caliber 5" cannon, the Type 94 18.1" cannon, etc.
Also, if you could include the Little David Siege Mortar from WWII, that world be cool.

Weird @Jim1the1Squid
@SnoWFLakE0s If what you are saying is actually true, then that would mean that pretty much every website that talks about calibers gets it wrong by adding the "." Before the number. I made this post based off of reality, not what you think it's supposed to say.
The Kolibri is officially considered to fire .22 caliber bullets.
@LlamaIndustries
I don’t think the kolibri fires 22 @Jim1the1Squid
@Jim1the1Squid
I don't think you've understood what I've said yet. I think I made it pretty clear I already know how cannon caliber nomenclature works.
.
Perhaps the purpose of my statement wasn't clear enough for you. Let me be more direct: I was calling you out on a significant English Convention error, not questioning how caliber nomenclature works. You've also made a mistake again in your explanation:
Is the difference between .50 and 50 caliber not apparent to you? You've also made this error in your original post, as per my previous comment:
I must apologise for being such a nitpick, but it drastically alters the meaning of the sentence, and therefore becomes erroneous in meaning. That I just can't pass by.
That's the proper format for writing calibers. You wouldn't say the M1911 is a 45 caliber pistol, it would be .45 caliber. The caliber's definition changes when you get to the big guns, notably above 3 inches, in bore diameter. Calibers for handguns range from .22 (for a peashooter like the Kolibri) to .950 (for guns like the .950 JDJ) and might even exceed that. I don't yet know how they measure calibers for handguns, but if there IS something I know about with large guns, it's the caliber. The wider the bore gets, the larger a single caliber becomes. If you have a 16" .50 caliber barrel, it'll be roughly 66.5 feet long, because the barrel is 50 calibers long, or 50x the bore diameter.

@Jim1the1Squid
You wrote .38, not 38 caliber.
Yeah, probably the better idea...
@Strucker
You could use his suggestion page?
@Jim1the1Squid
One caliber is the diameter of the bore. The diameter of the bore is 5 inches, therefore making one caliber 5 inches long. Multiply that by 38, and you get 190 inches, or roughly 16 feet, which is about the average size of the barrel for a 5" gunhouse.

@Jim1the1Squid
.38 caliber cannon? Is that supposed to be the length of a water bottle? Cannon "caliber" measures barrel length, I think you mixed that up...
@Gestour you available for this?
