| OK, now we know how sports shooting is going to be eliminated :-/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/modern_pentathlon/8617880.stm - Quote :
Replacing traditional air pistols with laser guns will make modern pentathlon safer and more environmentally friendly according to the sport's chief.
....
"In countries where there are very strong laws on shooting, like in Britain, Japan, or many other countries, there are big shooting difficulties. But the new system can be easily handled all over the world.

| its says about making modern pentathlon "safer " .... like how many penthathaletes have been shot in recent years then ?....
that is about the gayest thing I have heard .... how about saving money and just do nerf gun target shooting then ...you dont need to develop expensive laser guns and you can practice in your own lounge .

| Laser "pistol" would still be a RIF under VCRA, so it doesn't change much I guess. Unless all sporting "pistols" will be pink ;-)
I won't even go into discussing "safety" argument... | |

| What the didnt say was they are phase plasma rifles in 40 range so will destroy everything. I think they should also put rubber suckers on the arrows in the archery section just in case someone loses it. | |
