How is gauge defined in firearms?

a device that blocks the action to prevent accidental firing.
scope
the design feature that cause the bullet to spiral for accuracy and distance.
diameter of the bore and the size of the shot shell designed for the bore

The correct answer is: diameter of the bore and the size of the shot shell designed for the bore

Gauge is defined as the diameter of the bore and the size of the shot shell designed for the bore. This is important in firearms as it determines the size and power of the ammunition that the firearm can handle. Option A is incorrect because a device that blocks the action is known as a safety, not a gauge. Option B, a scope, is an accessory used for aiming and does not relate to the definition of gauge. Option C, while somewhat related to accuracy, does not directly address the definition of gauge.
