1 kilometer, I'm pretty sure of that.

[RN Malboeuf 12]

lol

1000 meters or

.60 mile of a mile (might be off a wee bit)

so 60 miles is 100 klicks (kilometers)

The Term klick was created so that Miltary units could compress the time needed so send a message for fire support...

ie. "Fire support requested 3 klicks South-south-west of Grid Cord Charlie-Charlie-six-niner."

Alright, how fast is a knot?

[Brian Smith 1]

1 nautical mile per hour...

[WisdoM 1]

lmao, isn that kinda redundant? Nautical mile = Knot does it not?

On a serious note. 1 Knot= 1.2 milesMp/h or 1 Knot= 1.9KM/h

Also in order to convert KNots tom Miles you use this simple equation

KNOTS multiplied by 1.1507771555 = MPH

MPH divided by 1.150777155 = KNOTS

A knot is 1,852 km/h or one nautical mile per hour.

Grins.

To resolve British/American confusion about the above post.

1,852 km/h (European) = 1.852 km/h (British/American)

As a science teacher in an international school, I am always trying to get the European kids to use a '.' where they want to use a ',', and the Brits & Yanks to use a ' ' (gap) where they want to use a ','.

A "Klick" is that distance that your platoon leader is usually off at 3:00 in the morning.

"Cmon guys it is just another Klick away."

Becareful, Click can also be used to determine the distance a scoped rifle is shooting. When somebody says 2 clicks they mean turn your elevation 2 clicks. It depends on the MOA (Minute of Angle) adjustment on the scope but on average it is 1/2 MOA per click. 1 MOA is close to 1 inch at 100 yrds. SO if your bullet drops 4 inches at the 300yrd mark your spotter would say the distance is 8 clicks to hit the target at 300 yrds. This is a very simplified example there is actually alittle math to get it to work properly. There are also other variables like wind,bullet weight/velocity,and shooting uphill or downhill.

Next time you watch a sniper movie and they say:

Sniper: "Distance?"

Spotter: "2 clicks"

The target is not 2 kilometers off ;-) if he IS 2k off that's 1 d*amn good sniper and I hope to never be in his crosshairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 nautical mile is 2,000 yards (6,000 feet). A knot is a nautical mile per hour.
