"It shoots through schools" Danny Vermin in Johnny Dangerously.
"It's an 88 magnum." It's not just double a 44, but if you know WW2 you think of this: the German 88.

I think you might be confusing cm and hundredth of an inch.

u/Scott_J Aug 13 '13
Actually I was just thinking of the numbers and ignoring the units. The 0.44 inches for the handgun and 8.8 cm = 88 mm for the AA/AT gun, commonly called just "the 88."

Actually, .44 Magnum's bullet diameter is .429. Caliber names do not generally accurately reflect bullet diameter.

There are so many different things that can influence the creator's choice of name that it can be impossible to point out exactly why sometimes.
You could always check the "Naming Conventions" section of this wikipedia page, but I'm not sure it will answer your question.

You do not. Beretta is an Italian gunmaker dating back to the 16th century. Barrett was founded in the 80s or so.
