  1. In the "caliber" world there had always been the uncertainty between using the diameter between the lands or the grooves of the barrel (or, in the case of the .38 Special, the diameter of the case).

  2. Metric landed on the Moon. NASA uses metric. And not only NASA. There's not a single industrial product designed in the US in the last 60 years that had been designed in imperial units. All is designed in metric, and then "translated" for the general public, that doesn't understand metric.

  3.  @Jarrodjohn2007  The altimeter had been designed in metric ot give the altitude in feet as given fracion of meter. Any single piece of it had been designed in metric. To the suppliers of any single screw of the Saturn V the designs had been given in metric with tolerances expressed in metric. And they were fine with it, because US industry had no more used imperial measures in designs for decades. In industry it doesn't exist "an inch", it exists 25.4mm. Your car, your vacuum cleaner, Any tool of your toolbox... if it had been made in the last 60 years, had been designed using metric.

  4. US industry switched to metric decades ago. Nothing designed in the US in the last 60 years has dimensions expressed in imperial. Their dimensions are only "translated" in imperial for the general US public, that doesn't understand metric.

  5. Actually only metric have ever got a man to Moon. NASA uses metric. And not only NASA. There's not a single industrial product designed in the US in the last 60 years that had been designed in "freedom units". All is designed in metric, and then "translated" for the general public, that doesn't understand metric.

  7. Or it's a .357. The diameter of the bullet is exactly the same. Only the way of measure it changes.
