Pretty much this size
I think 2.5 inches would be closer to a soda can if we're using references.
2.5" in diameter is just under a baseball (2.8").
Can you please start using real units. Seriously.
It's the same size as a cricket ball, 2.8".
No. 2.5" is in real units already. What's your problem with size comparisons?
They should just refer to the caliber
I fire 120 mm high-explosive rounds
Relevant username.
That thing is nowhere near 2.5" dia.
I googled for 50 mm. That should be close enough.

2.5 inches is 635 mm. Thats much closer to 50 cm
That doesn't sound right to me. An inch has ~2.54 cm, so 2.5" should be 6.35 cm and a cm has 10mm, so that becomes 63.5mm
1 inch is 25,4 mm, not 254 mm.
I am often incorrect. Today is one of those days
Lol, 2.5 inches is over 2 feet?
