You Won’t Believe How Many Mills Are in a Single Shot—Discover the Shocking Truth! Ever wondered just how powerful a single shot from a firearm can truly be? The answer might surprise you: your average firearm discharge contains thousands—yes, thousands—of mills per shot. But what does that really mean? In this eye-opening article, we’ll break down the shocking truth behind how many mills are fired in a single shot, why it matters, and what this means for ballistics, ballistic gear, and safe shooting practices. ### What Exactly Are “Mills” in Firearms?

However, when described as “mills,” many refer to the actual bullet velocity multiplied by mass effects, especially in high-powered roundups.
