For the metrically inclined:
40 inches = 1.016 meters
25 yards = 22.85 meters
40 yards = 36.576 meters
1 inches = 0.0254 meters or 2.54 centimeters
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
Would the spread with the cylinder choke also be indicative of the accuracy of a muzzle loading smooth bore musket?
To a degree yes, for that you’d ideally want a uniform barrel. But then again you don’t have rifling, so you’re already not on a great foot.
Sorry I don’t know anything about guns, but is this the barrel getting smaller right at the end? What would happen if you were to fire a solid slug?
Nothing good. It would damage the choke and possibly banana peel the barrel.
Chokes are removable, and it would be advised to remove them for shooting a slug.
Not having standardized decimal indicators in maths really took me for a ride.
Is your existence just to complain about insignificant things in otherwise interesting content? Sounds miserable.
Yeah that would sound miserable. Kinda didn’t complain tho just pointed it out bc I first read it as 1016m. See to complain I would need to explicitly say I am unhappy or that this would need to change. I just pointed out that due to me having a different understanding of decimal indication I was confused for a second.
You know what would be miserable tho? Misinterpreting a comment and then jumping to a conclusion about another person’s happiness. Go out. Touch some grass. Think about why you so quickly came to such a negative conclusion. Get happy. ✌️
It’s definitely not just for the one comment rofl. It’s a special kind of person to make two top-level posts complaining about a meme.
You must know.
Also fun fact your whole vodoo imperial system is inherently based on metrics. All definitions of lengths are put in reference to a meters and cm so you too are metrically inclined. You just prefer to do a mental backflip first
It’s fairly common knowledge that imperial units are anchored to metric standards now, but that connection doesn’t make someone metrically inclined. Still gotta do the backflip. Continuing to use a worse system is annoying and not something everyone prefers to do, hence OP providing the conversions.
