Note the graphic describing a “45mm Pistol.” No such thing.

  What does ACP in stand for then? Edit: Oh, you mean the mm part :-) ...actual printed products notwithstanding https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-45MM-PISTOL-GUN-SIDE-BASEBALL-CAP-HAT-GREEN-CAMO/352102122623 https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-45MM-PISTOL-GUN-SIDE-BASEBALL-C...

    Yes it’s partly cut off on the left but clearly inferrable on closer inspection. The graphic artist doesn’t know firearms. Mostly irrelevant to the article except for peripheral credibility.

  For those not familiar with it, the "caliber" system is in theory the diameter of the barrel in inches, so a .45 caliber handgun has a barrel diameter of .45 inches (except in reality it's .451 inches.) Some, like .380 ACP (actually .355 inches e.g. 9mm) are off by even more.

  Just noticed that. Hard to take reporting seriously with blatant errors like that. That would be a goddamn cannon.
