EvilEagle 0 #27 March 31, 2008 Quote The military map uses the metric system. It is laid out on a Kilometer grid. The military uses the Kilometer grid so that it can interact with Foreign military units, esp NATO. It is not just the Kilometer that we use to be able to interact with other countries. We have special adapters for communications, power, vehicles, etc. The HMMWV still uses miles on the odometer. That is true for ground units, but all of us flyboys use nautical miles.

bloody_trauma 2 #28 March 31, 2008 US Army Dictionary: Click An inexact distance derived from artillery sightings in which each click of site elevation would move the impact point depending on a number of diverse options. Usually taken to mean either a mile or a kilometer. Used mostly since Vietnam.Fly it like you stole it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inexact is not the word used when heaving artillery rounds down range and a mile is 1600 meters, a kilometer is 1000 meters to be exact, so the two are not the same."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #30 March 31, 2008 But it may be the same dictionary the 13B's was a usen when I asked to; "add 50 and Fire for Effect". Then the damn rounds would go over the horizon, and may still be in orbit.inexact, is that a real word or a wikapedia word? An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeNReN 0 #31 April 1, 2008 QuoteHowever, the distance the sight moves can vary from one type of gun to another. So a match rifle might have detents in quarter-minute or half-minute increments, rather than full minutes like a standard battle rifle, to allow for more fine-tuning of the bullet impact point. Back when I competeted it was 3 clicks to a minute......small and large bore,micrometer adjustable sights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
