It's a loose approximation, but it checks out.
Actually doesn't check out. Only a few bullet sizes are in metric. Most are in inches, from .17,.22, .25, .32, .38, .380 .357, .40S&W, .44, .45, and .50. 9mm, 5.56, and 7.62 are the only common metric calibers. The 5.56 and 7.62 are NATO designations. 5.56 NATO is the same diameter as .223, and 7.62 the same as 30-06 or .308.

The fish-eye lens is seriously distorting the video, making it look somewhat unreal.

I mean it just looks like a video game--like fucking pod racing in that shitty star wars movie from that sad time. How is it just...possible to control the wind, with that gadget, at that velocity, with that terrain, doing all those tricks and shit?

seriously: it's a video game. I honestly don't believe it or there is a lot of trickery going on with the perspective and film speed, among a few things, lol. Seriously, someone explain to me how that is something people can do.

This is hilarious but for some reason I feel it's going to appear on Tucker Carlson as a "get angry" piece...

eeeeyup. they won't get the honest satire. they will actually understand the kids' "truth" that they were "taught this": not that it was plain observation from their kid's brains and innocent brilliance, and that they confused this as being taught it in school. ...and it will sell to the rubes. We will have pillow-marrying sociopaths posting about it here, post-haste!

Speak for yourself! ;)
I can say with certainty that I do not have sexual attraction for men.

In fact, I hate the presence of men and thus it is one of the reasons I avoid porn, along with being a goody two-shoes.

On the other hand, I can say that the female optometrist I saw on Saturday was a hottie. (Obviously, I had to schedule a month in advance based on a pic, so the choice was clearly my biology at work)

Just wait until you see someone squirrel-suiting. It's that video but about 4x faster.

i guess taking pictures of trains is serious business, they are very angry.

Because it is considered "dangerous" by the railroad companies who own the tracks. :confused:

Nope.

6.5mm Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Lapua, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Weatherby, 8mm Mauser, 7.65mm Argentine, 9x57mm, 9x39mm, 6.5 Swedish, 6mm Rem, 7mm-08, my fav 7mm Rem Mag, 7.5mm Swiss, 10mm... I could on for sometime but the point is the list is far larger than you submit. Also, there are differences between 5.56 and .223 beyond projectile diameter, case dimensions are not the same and the load pressures are different. It's even more drastic a difference with the 7.62 example. Yes, NATO uses metric for ammunition, and? It's not just a different name, it's a slightly different load.

Where the meme creator went wrong (I doubt he shoots) is ignoring America's long history or firearm design all done in Imperial. But it's a meme, trying to be funny, I'm OK with laypeople taking a swing at it for a joke.

If you want to get technical, an inch has been defined as 25.4mm since the 60s if not the 50s.

Apparently! Did you guys hear about the 2 brothers in NC that were killed by a train, while they were mourning their other brother who was killed by a train at the exact same spot a week prior? WTF
