A milliradian (SI-symbol mrad, sometimes also abbreviated mil) is an SI derived unit for angular measurement which is defined as a thousandth of a radian (0.001 radian). ). Milliradians are used in adjustment of firearm sights by adjusting the angle of the sight compared to the barrel (up, down, left, or
A second of arc, arcsecond (abbreviated as arcsec), or arc second, denoted by the symbol ″, [2] is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1 / 60 of a minute of arc, 1 / 3600 of a degree, [1] 1 / 1 296 000 of a turn, and π / 648 000 (about 1 / 206 264.8 ) of a radian.
Stadiametric rangefinding often uses the milliradian ("mil" or "mrad") as the unit of angular measurement. Since a radian is defined as the angle formed when the length of a circular arc equals the radius of the circle, a milliradian is the angle formed when the length of a circular arc equals 1/1000 of the radius of the circle.
So a milliradian is just under 1 / 6283 of the angle subtended by a full circle. This unit of angular measurement of a circle is in common use by telescopic sight manufacturers using (stadiametric) rangefinding in reticles. The divergence of laser beams is also usually measured in milliradians.

The U.S. is short 3.7 million units, they reckon. Most other estimates are either close to Freddie’s, or a bit higher or lower, making a shortfall of “a few million” a reasonable average.
