This new pic makes the hammer assembly look like either an FN Browning HP-DA or a SIG P226, BUT the slide assembly still looks very unique to some variant of the Colt 1911. I can't think of any other gun that looks like that (just strange that the hammer and grip guard is out of place).
But I digress. Great shots. (pun intended, oh man I'm clever!)
Cal(iber) and mm refer to the size of the barrel. Both systems measure the size of the projectile, but in different ways.
Caliber means the diameter of the inside of any tube -- the bore of a gun, measured in hundredths or thousandths of an inch. .45 caliber is .45 of an inch. mm refers to the diameter of the bullet itself. 9mm is a bullet size (9X19 mm parabellum is the standard) 9mm rounds are not as powerful as .45 caliber. In terms of caliber .50 is about as big as it gets (the desert eagle .50 AE, the barret .50 caliber rifle, etc.). But slightly smaller calibers can be more powerful, in some instances (.44 magnum), but not necessarily.
That BB gun is about half the "size" of a standard 9mm, like the beretta M92 (which I thought it was at first glance), but because it's a pellet gun, that hardly amounts to much.
Aaaand that's enough talk about guns.
