Millimetres are more than inches.
Like, many more.Nairn - Why does the UK use inches to measure their cocks?scarabin
- You can fit more millimeters than inches in a bullet, therefore increasing their power. And like Gnash said you are packing the whole power of the millimeterpalimpsest
- instead of a fraction of the inch.palimpsest

I've always heard it called a nine milliliter not a zero point nine centimeter or nine tenths of a centimeter. Milliliter is the way to go.palimpsest - my posts illustrate most bullets in US are sold contrary to the original post. 9mm is the only common metric bullet used in the nomenclatureimbecile
- So it's a Colt point forty-five [centimeters] and not a Colt forty-five [millimeters]?palimpsest
- or a Colt forty-five tenths [inches]?palimpsest
