. 2 explanations: #1 1 meter = 39.+ inches, call it 40" 1,000 meters = 4,000 inches = 1 KILOmeter 1 KILOmeter = 1 Klick or click (either) R-o-u-g-h-l-y, 3K (kilometers) = 2 miles... not really, it's closer with 9K = 7 miles (36,000 feet vs 37,000 feet) but 3-to-2 is close enough for most purposes, other than for hand grenades, arty rounds and laser-guided bombs! #2: On sniper rifles, there are 2 knobs on the 'scope: the knob on top can be turned to compensate for windage deflection; and the knob on the side can be turned to account for the bullet's "drop" due to gravity on its way down-range. Those 'scopes have knobs that 'click' each time they are turned a very small distance. Snipers usually work with a second team member, The Spotter. The spotter uses a 40+ power spotting-scope to 'read' the conditions down-range and conditions between the target and The Shooter. The Spotter will call out his findings (even if it's as a whisper) to The Shooter. Since The Rifle is the 3rd member of the team, it has been 'zeroed' at a certain distance under certain conditions. After making adjustments to the 'scope for a particular shot, after the shot is taken, the 'scope should then be returned to its original setting, the "Known Entity" or base-line setting. They will write down ALL of the knowable facts about the circumstances of their tracking, camouflaging, waiting, target acquisition and disposal, and their exit. The point: Each "1-minute-of-arc-" adjustment on the scope equals one 'click' on the 'scope knob/s. So, The Spotter might say "2 clicks left, 1 click up" so that The Shooter can hit The target. The knobs have a definite 'click' sound AND FEEL, so that the shooter knows that each delicate adjustment is 'set' even against the recoil of the fired weapon. Usually after their windage/elevation adjustments to the 'scope's knobs, they will replace adjust cap so that the knobs cannot accidentally be changed by a stray movement or rough handling, etc. .

How Long Is One Click

Klik or K is an abbreviated term for Kilometer or .6 of one mile. Same as Mike Mikes refers to millimeters. Such as it is there is no such thing as standard or imperial miles. A mile is a mile is a mile. There is standard measurement (US), Imperial (commonwealth) and metric (the whole world except the US).
Conversion 100KPH X .6 = 60 MPH and
60 MPH X .6 =36 (+ 60 MPH )=96 KPH

A click is one kilometer. There is 1.6 kilometers per standard mile.

A 'CLICK' is military slang for KILOMETER or .6214 of a mile.
Ten 'CLICKS' would be 6.2 miles.

one kilometer, but it's not just the military. The rest of the world uses the metric system of measurement. They keep saying we're going to it sometime in the future. who knows?
