   Pretty embarassing that Americans use metric for calibers

     @lain I think a lot of people online would be surprised to see how much metric the USA uses

     @lain Any sane person in the USA understands that metric should be used instead of the backwards US customary units.
     
     Heck, even inches is now just metric with extra steps (USA and UK inch's used to be slightly different and a measurement block man went and redefined 1 inch to equal 25.4mm).
