But only in regards of nuclear bombs. Maybe it’s because of the scientific origins of these fields. Probably the same reasons why Americans measure firearm munition in mm.
Firearm’s ammunition is a mixed bag because many military sizes are standardized with the rest of NATO. 5.56, 7.62, and 9 mm sure; but then you get a bunch measured in caliber .308, .45, .50.

And 7.62 is just .30 caliber rebranded
and the old gauge system for shotguns.
I’ve only recently gotten my foid card and am learning to shoot and that shit confuses me so much.
