>thought grains were a unit of volume, like a 115 grain 9mm meant it had 115 individual units of powder in the case
>This confused me because a 55 grain 5.56 is more powerful than 9mm yet has less powder
>thought .50 caliber muskets were as powerful as .50 caliber rifles today
>Thought a 1911 .45 meant it was adopted in 1911 but used in 1945 because that's when WWII was
>Thought the corner shot really curved the bullet 90 degrees
>Thought the desert eagle was in .50 BMG
>Thought that the term "full metal jacket"referred to Vietnam like how the sandbox referred to the middle east
>Thought hollow point ammunition was armor piercing
>Thought .223 and 5.56 were the same cartridge

I thought cosmoline was actually an eastern bloc product. It turns out it's American through and through.

You definitely sound like someone that is normal and not autistic, and you definitely belong on this board, no doubt.

>All those examples

See, here's the thing. All of us at some point didn't know what those things are. What we didn't do, in our ignorance, was make baseless assumptions about those things.

The problem wasn't that you didn't know better. The problem was that you were making assumptions when you should not. Do you still do this? Ask yourself that question.

Grew up noguns and thought 115 grain meant 115 grains of gunpowder. Quickly disproven when I pryed off a 9mm and 5.56 bullet and poured the powder out
