The 12-inch [30 cm] single gramophone record came into existence with the advent of disco music in the 1970s. As the songs became much longer than the average pop song but the DJ in the club wanted a sufficient sound level, the format had to be changed from the 175 mm (7 in) single. Since production costs for 175 mm (7 in), 250 mm (10 in), and 30 cm (12 in) records were about the same by this time, the ...

The 12-metre class is a group of sailing vessels which, while not identical, are all designed to a particular formula, so as to make the boats involved in a competition roughly comparable, while still giving individuals the freedom to experiment with the details of their designs. They are best known for their use as the vessels used for many years to compete for the America's Cup.

Due to the shape and size of the 12 gauge round, the Saiga-12 has some unusual quirks. As originally designed with conical rifle rounds, the AK47 can be loaded and then charged by cycling the action.

This adds about half a second to magazine changes and forces the user to move both hands while changing magazines instead of ...
