>>35032594
No, why the fuck would you think that?

>>35032594
No but I will now.

>>35032604
Because Americans don't use metric?

>>35032655
There was a push to move to metric back in the 70's and 80's, and a lot of people still use a mix of Imperial and Metric when it comes to firearms.

>>35032594
9mmlol is what it should be called

>>35032655
Uh we do, especially the military.

>>35032655
Americans use a dual system of both metric and imperial dumb dumb.

>>35032594
NO FUN ALLOWED!

>>35032594
Fuck that clown is terrifying. Id shoot that on sight

>>35032655
conversationally we use Imperial, professionally we use both

>>35032594
Well I will now.

If that were true then why can I give you a price in USD on 2-liter bottles of coca cola? (It's about one and a half dollars).

>>35032655
Some do and some don't. It's not a guarantee, but generally, if an American uses SI, they are smart and paid well, and if they use imperial, they are dumb and an unskilled laborer. Engineering is one of those weird exceptions where they precised over a ritualistic rape of SI by imperial, and because of the evangelicalism here, there was no abortion.

>>35032606
Seconded. Taking it back for the white man.

>>35032799
>imperial
no, it's standard. imperial units are (generally) slighlty larger than standard.

It's standard to the continent of the United States of America. Just like a standard transmission is standard in the continent of Europe.

Same here in freedom-land, both my local mega-stores sell a 2 liter for .87 or. 88, it's just different brands that charge more.

I can guarantee you no one calls it this.

>>35037189
No, it's American Imperial. About 100 years ago you had dozens of imperial systems. But as those empire's fell, the systems of measure they used fell with them.

Only way to realisticly compare it to Europe. If you say country europoors start trying to compare European countries to the U.S. instead.

i'm laughing harder than i should at that

>>35040129
I was reading an old Jeff Cooper bit and he made a reference to ".30 Russian Short".

This would have been before Russian milsurp flooded the market and 7.62x39 became super common here in the US.

I thought that was a pretty neat colloquialism.

There's a place that sells eggs for 49 cents a dozen. Those get sold for $2.99 at the store. Milk? I forget what they pay but they sell that shit for $4.99. Motherfuckers make a fortune, especially first and 15th of the month.

Why do some countries call the .45 ACP 11.25mm instead of 11.43mm?

Never understood that.

>>35041179
Why is it .30-06 with a .308" bullet?
Same reasoning.

>>35040501
>Not calling it "The trusty 1/12 pounder"

>>35041205
That's not what i meant.

In metric .45 ACP is 11.43×23mm, but for some reason in some places, Norway and Argentina comes to mind, the exact same cartridge it's called 11.25mm and I don't know why.

>>35041261
Because they are measuring the bore size it will be used in. Same as cartridges like .303 and 30-06. The .45 is land diameter

>>35041278
Oh, I see. Thanks.

>>35032594
no, it's officially called (by companies) 9mm Luger or 9x19mm, and most people call it 9mil

>>35041427
>Not 9mm Para

>>35042140
>Para
>not an abbreviation of 9mm Parabellum

What is colloquially called "9mm" is actaully named 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9x19mm NATO, and 9mm RoodyPoodySmallandShooty

For a sec I thought that read "The Thrusty 1/12 pounder".
