GURPS Metric Speed/Range Table
If you want to run your GURPS games in metric units, you will
probably need a metric conversion of the combat speed/range table. I have
drawn up such a table, using slightly rubbery metric conversions for
simplicity in the final numbers. High speeds are also given in Mach
numbers - multiples of the speed of sound at Earth-normal sea-level
atmospheric pressure and composition.
