Because you have a 12 gauge as in a talking shotgun and then you also have a 12 gauge as in a 12 gauge needle which are two completely different sizes but gauge is a unit of measurement so how does that work

“Gauge” is a relative measurement, specific for each item. Some items measure relative thickness (roofing sheets, steel sheets), relative diameter (wire, pipes) etc etc. For example, gauge-24 roofing-sheets are pretty thick (and inflexible/stiff), gauge-30 are much, much thinner than the 24, and gauge-32 get thinner and very flexible. It is not an exact measurement “unit” per-se.
