Unit(s) bitches

[Sapper_06]

It drives me nuts when people say, "What grain weight", or, "What grain of bullet", do I ..... Grains is a unit of weight, like mph is a unit of speed. Help stop the bastardization of the English language.

 

[Alphatreedog]

How many grains are your velcro sneakers ?

 

[Sapper_06]

They are precisely 7251.3 grains each. I only answered due to the fact that your question is correctly phrased in the English language.

 

[uffduh]

I need to put more polish on mine then as they're lighter than yours

 

[squishee]

Nice one of our newbs is a scholar
Did i spell NEWBS right? or is it NOOBS?
sorry forgot we r talking about units.

Mine are the old Sears and Roebuck style with three straps and not two.

How many grains (of sand) in your wadded up panties?

 

[obk]

Mmmm prescriptive linguistics. That'll end well.

 

[Slash0311]

I'd like to help but I can't follow exactly what your trying to say...

Yes, I put "your" intentionality...

 

[Sapper_06]

Yes, all very funny. However, the point still stands. Words have meaning and words mean things. What if I asked you what inch your barrel was? Does that make sense?

 

[Winningdog]

Possible contest to find out who's unit weighs most in grains?

 

[oldiephrt]

The definition of a word changes every time a DSA says something stupid. So, hard to keep up.

[Not a Sniper]

Ugh-why does this need to be a Sapper with a 6 by his name?!

Asking for a friend.

 

[Sniperwannabee]

Please delete this thread . you are embarrassing yourself

 

[tarheel7734]

This unit, which is often abbreviated as “gr” is equal to one 7,000th of a pound
Hmm maybe people are asking what weight of the projectile you are using. Say a 55gr in a 5.56.

I wanna see the sapper tab he earned.

I think he is just trying to get posts so he can post a fs. Has a long road ahead if that's the case.

 

[pmclaine]

[7.62willdo]

 

[Rthur]

Speaking of units,... mine must be lighter in the AM as it's looking at the the ceiling
when I wake up.

[TheGerman]

What grain Creedmost do you guys shoot?

 

[kenny1773]

So the answer to what Is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? depends on the grain weights of the coconut it is carrying?

African or European?

 

[kwest99]

GAWD, I love this place

 

[silentwoods]

Maybe Bender can chime in with the BC and comparative gr of various pigeons?

 

[atomic41]

There, their, they're...it'll be alright.

 

[kenny1773]

African or European?

We are going to have to wait for Bender to chime in, he is the resident expert with intimate knowledge of birds

 

[Ric O'shay]

Sapper_00-Sapper_05 must be spoken for.

[THEIS]

Sincerely,
Theis

 

[Caihlen]

One more than a Grunt.

Usually.

If MOS was IQ....

 

[The D]

Grammar nazis, assemble!

 

[DocRDS]

Paltry Peasants. I only use Natural Units with h (planks constant) and c (speed of light) equal to one.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!!

 

[Caihlen]

Now there’s a guy who know his way around a unit!

[myronman3]

[308Gunner]

[10ring'r]

I really think, this is going to be an epic TROLL thread. Standing by, in 1...2.......Mac

 

[Longshot231]

Is it a Spitzer valve or a Fetzer bullet? Asking for a friend.

What if it is only one?

 

[AllenOne1]

Now I'm confused. So how many grains are in a full MOA again?

 

[308pirate]

Yes, all very funny. However, the point still stands. Words have meaning and words mean things. What if I asked you what inch your barrel was? Does that make sense?

I'm with you brah

Stupid ass noobs

How about: "What ____ for _____"?

Anybody ever heard of the word "WHICH"?

HUH?

Get your ass down to the Main Machinery Room and go get me some relative bearing grease

Tell the Chief Machinery Watch that the PPOW sent you.

 

[Longshot231]

Then there is this classic...

 

[Longshot231]

I have a little background in filed artillery and it drives me nuts when I hear someone say "shrapnel" when they should be calling it "shell fragment."

So, I understand the OP's frustration.

But a shrapnel projectile is still very effective against troops. But maybe only when fires from "filed" artillery.

Ouch. That hurt.

Did you know that 10 out of 5 FOs are dyslexic?

And it's still shell fragment!!!!
