At this point we’ve only had finals for the events that use children’s guns. I’m not really surprised that China would beat us at shooting children’s guns. They’d probably win a tricycle race too.
Well we do have frequent school shootings in America, so any gun that’s been used must be a children’s gun right? /S
if you told me they sell a gun specifically for children in texas i would absolutely believe it.
that state is fucking crazy
Aren’t you from Indiana? I just assumed y’all had free .22s for underprivileged children.
They probably did in most of Indiana, but I grew up in Bloomington and it’s the evil librul leftie commie part of Indiana where a bunch of old hippies who are still hippies settled around the horrible liberal indoctrination center of Indiana University, so they only gave us water pistols.
As a matter of fact, that is a thing that exists. I had a special child-sized .22 rifle when I was 5 years old. My parents kept it safely stored and allowed me to practice with it under close supervision. Sears made them, marketed as a “youth” model.
Well that’s disturbing… imagine how many parents, especially today, wouldn’t keep it safely stored or allow their kid to practice with it only under close supervision.
In theory, in a world where every gun owner was responsible, it wouldn’t worry me. We don’t live in that world.
It could legitimately be an Olympic sport. Although they would need to disguise the name by calling it something like “precision drone-flying” where the goal is to drop a water balloon filled with paint onto a target or something
You’re just making up a sport for the Ukrainians so they can get a gold medal
When you say “children’s gun” do you mean a gun for children to use, or a gun designed to use on children?
What guns do you imagine they will shoot next? Are you expecting the event to be sponsored by Armalite? Do you think Kalashnikova will show?
Shotguns. No, and no.
It’d be nice if they had a long range category with real rifles. Most countries are already uncomfortable letting their people have access to Olympic pea shooters, so I don’t think we’ll ever see 1000 meter shooting as an event.
You do know shooting sport guns are built specifically for shooting sports at the Olympic level, right? You seem to think power is more important than accuracy. I doubt any of the athletes agree.
But I’m sure there’s some sort of “Redneck Games” or something where people use AR-15s with bump stocks and Colt .45s to target shoot. You should check YouTube.
I think OP was pointing out that several of the competitions use air guns, but conveniently glossed over the one with shotguns (which I’m sure OP will love to know, China got a silver medal…)
