Interestingly the meter has been defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. The second has been defined as the time it takes for 9,162,631,770 vibration cycles in the radiation emmited by cessium-133). Near enough to just call it 9mm. Now, if the .38 special actually fired 0.380" bullets, it would be 9.652mm.
