.22... Isn't that like the eqivalent of 9mm? I find it very annoying to convert the American calibers into the metric system. You're not going to see a 22mm handgun any time soon. I recently visited an Army/Navy surplus store where they were selling inert 20mm rounds. I picked one up, it was about 10cm long and 3cm wide at the largest point. Wouldn't want to get hit by one of those. As for the Apache, I beleive they use a 70mm cannon that most people simply call a machine gun because it's automatic.

.223 == 5.56 == standard NATO rifle round diameter. 20MM would be nearly 1 inch (12.7MM == .50 caliber). Because the caliber system came long before the metric system (and long before America, euro-goons - it's european), it is the standard that the metric was adopted to.
The Apache Helicopter uses a 25MM chain-driven cannon. The use of the word cannon versus machine gun is largely blurred. Usually when a shell-launching weapon stops being man-portable, it becomes referred to a cannon. At least in my experience as an infantryman.

.22 comes in differant types too. .22 LR, .22BB, .22 short,.22 magnum, .22 hornet ecetera. And I think 9mm is in the .35 ballpark. And I dont think that it's just straight metric conversion. I think .223 is measured from groove to groove and 5.56mm is measured from land to land.
also make note that a .223 is a rifle round that is bottlenecked to the bullet tip while a .22 (either short, long, long rifle, etc) is more of a rifle/pistol round that is much less powerful.

Of course there's always the 150 mm ammo.
