It’s not a telescopic sight. It’s possibly a telescope sight. It’s definitely an optical sight. Or a glass sight. Unless it is rubbish and has plastic lenses.
Open sights do not include aperture sights, because they are closed.
Sigh. Here I go again.
"Wembley Ain't Rifle".....a pistol perhaps?
I brought a pellet gun from a garage, with two springs, so when it is cocked, it is cocked twice, so the penertration is amazing, one dustbin and a Yellow Pages. It shoots 11.9 fart-pumps and the scopes on it means its range is 300 yards and the SAS (Special Army Soldiers) use this kind of gun on special missions where they can't have gunpowder (siege in a fireworks factory in a built-up area).
It will go right through a rabbits eye at 100 yards and its 2.2 so its more powerful.
Sadly, it appears that reticle, reticule, and graticule are synonyms.
Of course, cross-hairs aren’t made of hair any more.
As for “ball ammunition”....
The whole “bullet head” nonsense was the fault of UK dealers back when FAC holders could mail order ammo. Apparently people complained that they had thought they’d ordered fully-assembled cartridges, but only got bullet “heads” rather than the assembled ready-to-fire “bullets” (I.e. cartridges).
I'm a maggot in another life you know
maths. ... ?
Whenever I hear someone say “Can I have a one” or “I would like a one” I can hear my late Dad’s voice mimicking his Schoolmaster booming out “It’s not a one or a two boy – it’s “Can I have one!”
Funny that innit?
(I miss my Dad and it been over 20 years now! Love you Dad and Mum! )

RETICULE - a woman's small handbag, typically having a drawstring and decorated with embroidery or beading.
RETICLE - a pattern of fine lines or markings built into the eyepiece of a sighting device.
Although somewhat interchangable the correct word in English is I believe GRATICULE.....sounds so much nicer
