No clue how heavy that is. And don't bullets come in a range of sizes?
- sornaensis 7y agoA typical bullet weighs about 8 grams. And usually range from about 4-16 grams.
- metaphor 7y ago> On the second floor, in what Tiffany calls the “love and engagement” department — where it sells engagement rings and wedding bands — Leslee Nugent, an employee, was packing a 10.64-carat engagement ring priced at $2.475 million. I suspect this 10.64-carat ring is the particular asset in question.
- yostrovs 7y agoA .22 can weigh less than 1.5 grams. But it is ridiculous regardless to compare weight of a ring to something most people don't really know the weight of and that something that seems light as is.
- metaphor 7y agoIn the US, a bullet's notional size and weight is perhaps more familiar than grams (or any metric unit, really). In any case, I sense there was a subtle pun in that its cost is liable to kill the financial livelihood of most.
- de_watcher 7y agoJust US things.
- Jamwinner 7y agoAny red blooded amedican would specify 45acp, and mention if the weight is the bullet (projectile), or the entire round (bullet, case and propellant). I have never heard anyone use a bullet to compare weight however, its very strange.
