The ultimate American measurement paradox! While the rest of the world embraces kilograms and meters, Americans have this peculiar relationship with the metric system—rejecting it for everyday use but somehow maintaining perfect fluency when it comes to 9mm handguns.

It's like the metric system only got a partial visa to enter the US, and that visa was specifically for ammunition.
