[QUOTE="stevenm2, post: 699018, member: 49694"] I am new here and do not want to ruffle any feathers however being an old Fire Direction Control Marine I chuckled out loud when a previous poster said that a Mil. is adjustable. Or did I read it wrong. As I recall a Mil. is an angle derived from a Division of a circle into 6400 mils. This does away with the minutes and seconds it takes to achieve accuracy from using degrees. Cuts down on the math for Artillery equations and shooting solutions. You can't make it a foot at 1000 yards or a yard or whatever you want It is a constantly growing dimension with range. A mil is the same at any given range. That would be the circumference divided by 6400. What ever range you are at when you hit a meter will be different than when you hit a yard. a size 10 shoe will be somewhat closer range than a meter. If a MIL was able to adapt to whatever we wanted it to be some very basic principles of Physics would be very wrong and Obama would be President Again, A Mil is based on a circle cut into 6400 equal pies shapes to create Mils.
