Anyone know what the 4 x 14 refers to on a float ?
I know it's the weight & 4 x 12 is heavier than a 4 x 14 etc, but unlike the other methods of describing floats, i.e stating the shot required (4BB or 3AA etc) or the weight in grams (i.e. 0.4g / 1.5g etc) I can't work out what the 4 or 14 relates to on a 4 x 14 etc.

It's not effecting my sleeping pattern or anything... just got me pondering.
