.40 S&W and 10mm auto are both 10mm rounds!

I don’t trust you, stranger number man! And the above… well that just proves there’s a conspiracy!

I wonder, did you feel like "cool" writing this comment? It's an honest question. Sorry in advance if it sounds like a jerk question.

Hah, is fine. No I didn't feel "cool." I'm just the kind of weirdo that was obsessed with guns from a technical point of view as a kid. Think of me more as the kid just slightly on the spectrum who collected data on everything firearm related and then wrote mods for games like rogue spear that tried to adhere to the data. I didn't shoot more than a .22 rifle or 16 and 12 gauge shotguns until my 20s. This was one of the factoids I still have floating around up there.

Now in my 40s, I still haven't owned a gun personally, but have been to the range many times with friends (I buy more ammo than I shoot and drinks after). Heck, a few weeks ago I got to put a hundred rounds or so through a friend's suppressed FN P90 (a very surreal experience), a very nice .223, and pistols in 4 calibers (.22 and 9mm with suppressors, .45, and .357).

Thank you for answering respectfully. Also, for the FN P90... Jesus.

Yeah but they're not interchangeable.
