I used to use that but have moved to 12ft-lbs as apparently that’s better.
Despite Brexit, I suspect moving to Joules would be easier.
I too get a bit OCD about this stuff. I think I have bored members before about various of my linguistic OCD things.
It’s not a foresight, it’s a front sight. That kind of thing.

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.

It IS a 'telescope sight', and it is a graticule, not a reticule.

"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).

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

See... Now I've often wondered about this.... I wonder if. FPE as an abbreviation of "Foot Pound Energy" is in actual fact correct. Just taken this from a site on the net:
"Lb is an abbreviation of the Latin word libra. The primary meaning of libra was balance or scales (as in the astrological sign), but it also stood for the ancient Roman unit of measure libra pondo, meaning “a pound by weight.”
The operative word being "pound" in weight... Now although "libra Pondo" or "libra" itself is written as "lb" and "lbs" being plural, I don't see saying foot pounds energy "fpe" as being wrong.... Just different. Infact "fpe" is closer I think as although we call pounds lbs, lbs is actually an abbreviation for libra which is only half the wording.
Interesting stuff a?
