  2. Milliradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

    A common adjustment value in firearm sights is 1 cm at 100 meters which equals ⁠ 10 mm / 100 m ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ mrad. The true definition of a milliradian is based on a unit circle with a radius of one and an arc divided into 1,000 mrad per radian, hence 2,000 π or approximately 6,283.185 milliradians in one turn , and rifle scope ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.357_Magnum

    In a rifle, the bullet will exit the barrel at about 1,800 feet per second (550 m/s), [14] making it far more versatile than the .30 Carbine or the .32-20 Winchester. [ dubious – discuss ] In the 1930s it was found to be very effective against steel car doors and ballistic vests, and metal-penetrating rounds were once popular in the United ...

    At sea level one minute of arc along the equator equals exactly one geographical mile (not to be confused with international mile or statute mile) along the Earth's equator or approximately one nautical mile (1,852 metres; 1.151 miles). [14] A second of arc, one sixtieth of this amount, is roughly 30 metres (98 feet).
