General silliness: what cartridge are you?

Hmmm, I guess I could be considered a .357 maximum:
--Oddball that doesn't really fit well anywhere; most know very little about me
--Can do many things, but nothing really well, except things with no practical value (like silhouettes); Effective on many tasks when focused.
--Skinny, light & fast
--Rimmed (Reason why edited by Long Path, who felt that Futo Inu was, perhaps, OVER-SHARING, just a tad.
*)
--Unlike a .45, I have a small mouth (don't talk much)

My first reaction would be to call myself .30-06 because it is an all-american, do-it-all round, has been very dependable in past conflicts yet is still ready when called upon, lacks the sizzle (sex appeal) of newer upstarts like the .308 or .223.
Then I start thinking about 6mmPPC. Short, squat, not necessarily a powerhouse unless aroused, and yet very accurate and to the point.
Then again....my wife would say I am some sort of shotshell, probably 16ga, because it is not much in use these days, has no neck, my middle dimension is approaching the same as the other two, and I tend to be somewhat scatterbrained.
Gee, you tell me!

Remember, just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you!

Well, if you went by my handle it might be 105mm APDS, but being a crew-served weapon's "cartridge", I don't want to give the wrong impression, nor am I so boastful. 
Since BP was included though: .75, 545 gr ball over 120 gr FFFg in my Brown Bess - smoothbore; pointed, not aimed; lots of noise and smoke; antiquated; prone to occasional flash-in-the-pan.

.32 Silvertip. Small 5'4" 1/2
(don't forget the 1/2) and seem to be expanding as the years go on. Still able to whizz along ok and do a little damage after multiple hits.
I was going to say "anything blank".
Like my expression, or what the doctor did to me after my last child!

120MM Sabot...
But I am told it's not the size of your Howitzer, but what you can do with it...

George are you saying shot placement is more important than the size of your gun?
