wut

Biathlon is literally two things white people love doing combined into one event. What makes you think /k/ hates it?

>>32552935
If they shot a full power center fire caliber it would be interesting. Shooting 22lr at known distances like it's something special is gay as fuck.

If it were old school biathlon shooting full power centerfire military rifles at targets of unknown distance it would be cool.

This entire ~OLYMPIC~ event is about taking the human element out of the equation. a complete failure of an olympic sport.

Those biathlon ones aren't as terrible since they can't exactly use the typical trash and expect to still ski, but it still has some of the same problems. Its boring as fuck to watch, shows no real world skill. I would expect Hussain bolt to outrun me any day, But i can probably out shoot the average olympic shooter if we're an hour into a hunting hike wearing a day pack and all necessary gear and using a fullsized rifle firing a fullsized cartridge at a distance greater than 50m

>>32552935
Probably because it is anti-gun shooting sport.

>>32552935
I don't hate them, I just find them boring to watch. I'd much rather watch a 3 gun match.

Why do no women athletes have tits? I know conditioning will reduce breast sizes but why do fucking shooters have no tits either?

>>32552935
Because of a deep insecurity with regards to their shooting abilities, realizing deep in their gut that magdumping their WASR at 50 yards doesn't make them a good shooter.

I get the feeling youve never shot wearing any of that gear.
Do you think you can outshoot the camp perry champs too, those pussies use shooting jackets and gloves too.

They dont actually use the rest for shooting, its literally a rest because some of those rifles are heavy as fuck and it can be a while between sets. A stand takes up way less space than a table.

I think the blinders are a bit much also but i dont pretend they make you into a real life aimbot

Make a new sport where you give everyone a full auto. I don't even care what caliber. Then try to hit some targets.

Hate those "glasses" all you want, but for 25m precision shooting over a longer period of time, these things are a godsend.

>>32552935

because Olympic shooting is the doom of the weapons communities in Europe. IT is the most popular branch of shooting and its members are those in power in shooting federations. On top they are elitist sports-fudds who despise semiautomatics or even the concept of firearms. They frame weapons as a neccesary evil to their hobby when speaking to the public. They get most of the government funding for shooting ranges and then make draconic laws about what firearms, targets and whatever items you can use.

In short they are cancer

>>32553823
You clearly have no clue about what you are talking about. In a range which is almost something that hosts a shooting club it is not only about shooting olympic shooting. Most of the members do different disciplines of shooting. Military pistol (which features normal handguns) is shooting on targets that pop up for a certain amount of time is 1 of them. Also, historic guns like vedderli are used in certain competitions. Also things like hunter field target and benchrest are also a discipline. That is besides the olympic disciplines. Shooting is so much more than only olympic shit. Source: me being a member of a dutch shooting club for several years.

>>32553013
Traps are for tying up and raping, not shooting.

>>32553853
bla bla bla.

The biggest danish shooting union just made a de facto Assault weapons Ban for no reason at all and whithout pressure from the government.

The real question is, why aren't there any olympic events where the competitors shoot at targets using the issue rifle of their home nation after long treks through difficult terrain while carrying an average soldier load?

>>32552935
>>32553071
>bb guns
>.22lr

Gramps used to run biathlon for the army in the fifties or early sixties, they used nuggets. It was cumbersome but surely it was possible to reduce the size and weight as well as design a comfortable rifle harness without sacrificing the caliber or halving the firing distance.

>>32553145
it's not benchrest retard, it's where they put the rifle between shots

It's about proportions, boobs should fit the frame they are attached to. That being said, given the choice I would rather go for a fit/athletic girl rather than a larger/chubby one.

>>32554144
Here the association has made a course with one fudd basicly talking 2 days about how great he is. At least they named the course Twinky. Fucking faggots ruining and outselling our traditional mass sport.

>>32553199
Because athletes need to be slim and tits are primarily made of fat. Athletes also produce more testosterone which lets the boobs shrink. Those who use steroids get small tits from the androgenic effect of test. Finally, having big tits is a hindrance in most sports. Therefore, women with big tits get dominated by women with small tits in competitions (that's also the reason why you don't see lanklets doing powerlifting or short guys doing 100m sprint).

>>32552935
I don't, but at the same time I'd just rather watch inrange than a bunch of dudes with horse blinders on shoot BB guns if I'm going to watch shooting.

It did make me mad to see how the media and the government gave no fucks about our shooting successes at the last Olympics, especially considering they were in the women's categories. They couldn't sweep those under the rug fast enough because muh guns.

>>32554232

Not in shooting they don't (biathalon is a different matter).

Australian's first gold medal was shooting a few years ago, target pistol I think, they made a big deal out of it and this 300lb middle-aged ausburger was waddling around everywhere really proud. He said later that it was kind of funny sitting in the athletes village after he won his medal hanging around with all these super fit 10/10 young kids who wished they could get his kind of results.

Olympic shooting events were originally done with each nation's military rifle.
Then SJWs (yes, they already existed back then) and antigunners cried so that everyone is forced to use the same shitty .22lr bolt actions.
Nowadays antigunners are using that to push more gun control :

>you don't need anything other than a bolt action .22lr for sport shooting!

>>32553823
Most sport shooters I met are progun, others are indifferent to people owning guns. There goes your anecdotal evidence.

Hunters are what would I call cancer to european firearms community. They are the elitist fudds who wouldn't care about any additional regulations as long as they doesn't touch their stuff, ie. repeaters and double barreled shotguns.

>>32553823
>>32554583
You are both right, both competitve shooters and hunters are cancer, and they hate the regular gun owner with his AR15 and Glock, and will gladly collaborate with the insitutions to get everything banned as long they keep to get their shitty .22 guns and fudd hunting shits.
Both need to be wiped out.

>>32554593

It's like you're talking about the NRA.

I guess many people on /k/ simply don't aspire for perfection, so they hate anyone, who is a better shooter on a technical level.

>>32553071
There once was a five man ski patrol sport in the early winter olympics if I remember correctly. Four soldiers carrying regulation rifles and and officer with a pistol. All shot.

>>32553247
You're lying

>>32552935

I don't hate it. It just doesn't much interest me. I put it in the same group as bench rest, skeet, etc. Difficult and I'm not taking anything away from the people who love it. But I think it's boring to do and watch.

>>32552935
It produces impressive displays of accuracy. However this is purely mechanical and with small calibers rather boring. Hardcore cross country skiing and military caliber bolt actions or infantry rifles would produce a much more impressive environment for accuracy shooting. Its really just too specialized. Also as some have said many of the athletes don't actually give a shit about guns or ownership outside of their niche rifles.

>>32552935
It would be a little more interesting if they used a practical caliber instead of .22 short or .17 PGP or whatever they use

i've always wanted to try 25 meter rapid fire, if only the pistols weren't 2 grand.

>>32554838
Come on black people need to have at least one thing they can win in.

I did a few days of 'target pistol' and it was boring as shit and the people were stuck up. It also had little value in so far as transferable skills to other kinds of shooting are concerned.

I think that the problem with Olympic style shooting is that it's walled in to what it has developed into, it's removed from shooting as everyone else knows it and it's become shitty.

They should bring back the days of sking around mountains with regular gear and a 6.5x55 m/96

>>32555047
I did my military service as a dragoon in the Swedish Royal Guard. For ceremonial duties we used an old Mauser license built in Sweden that was chambered in 6.5x55 mm. It was a beautiful rifle, really enjoyed shooting it. And on top of that it had the most badass bayonet with a blade lenght of 33 cm.

Good times.

the entire point of biathalon is endurance, and the ability to be precise when tired as fuck. wearing a stupid sexy outfit and using a fancy gun doesn't make it a cakewalk. you're just mad that they aren't all wearing field jackets and shooting mausers.

>>32555047
What? Target shooting, especially olympic style probably has the most transfer acrossthe shooting sports because its literally just the fundamentals. Sight alingment, trigger control, and breathing are literally the basis for hitting your target, the stance might not carry over to fullpower rifles very well but it can be done.

If it wasnt for you thats ok, im glad youve actually tried it. The people around me are pretty cool so i cant comment on that but it seems to be a trend.

>>32552935
Because no matter how much practice and skill it actually requires to perform at an Olympic level shooting smallest bore while stationary at short range stationary targets will never excite the passions of the masses. It is just extremely boring.

This is why when talking about invigorating shooting in the Olympics people so often talk about 3-gun, big bore revolvers, and long range shooting.

Also it doesn't help that the Olympics are trying to move away from even using actual guns.

>>32555524
We used the m/94 carbine, as seen here
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karbin_m/94
Sorry, there is no wiki link in English.

The infantry units used the m/96 rifle,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Mauser

Not sure what the m/38 would refer to, I've never heard of it before. Was it also a Mauser copy?

>>32555831
m/38 was the shorter version of the m/96. Some were purpose made as Husqvarna and others were made from m/96 rifles which were cut down and refurbished. Maybe there wasn't much distinction made between then in colloquial reference or something. The 38s only differed in having a shorter barrel and a different rear-sight, the converted ones didn't even have a bent bolt handle.

>>32554660
Hang on, you stand there and I'll attack you with a staple "gun." Then we can really figure out what a real weapon is...

Thanks for the big lulz, people in your texan village maybe... I literally never heard someone talk about that (not to mention I don't even know what "3-gun" means). Actually the main concern within olympics fans is that shooting shouldn't even be at the olympics, hence why biathlon is the most popular discipline by far because of its athletic part. Absolutely no one cares about acrobatic-big-bores and shit, look at the audience ratings for the skeet...

>not to mention I don't even know what "3-gun" means
3-gun is an action shooting sport that requires the competitor to switch between multiple firearms (typically handgun, shotgun, and rifle) throughout the course.

Here's a clip of a famous celebrity on a course.

Where and by who seriously?

They're castrated shadows of what they once were and represented, reduced to a very exclusionary and sanitized practice with guns that came out of Cuomo's wet dreams. Frankly, contemporary Olympian shooting represents everything an anti thinks firearms should be relegated to. When they are back to centerfire service rifles and handguns at meaningful distances, I'll be interested.

>>32553823

Have you ever watched a service rifle comp? fucking boring as hell. And it only get more boring the further away the target is. Instead of hot Norwegian girls huffing and puffing in the snow its old fuds with garands and springfields firing one shot a minuet rolling around on their shooting mats. None of the shooting sports are actually interesting to watch excepts the action shooting sports like 3 gun. Also, sometimes the cowboy shooting stuff is actually really cool.Horseback stuff in particular, but thats more like SCA larping with guns than anything else. Idk how you could really make it a sport.

On the contrary, Olympic sports have only gotten more refined to focus specifically on the human equation. My thing is HEMA, and Olympic fencing isn't really swordfighting anymore, but I have no delusions that an Olympic fencer is on a whole other level of skill.

Bringing Olympic shooting or fencing back to standard target shooting or old school dueling is taking steps backward in progress.

I prefer long range shooting.

The whole discussion itt is pretty interesting because it follows similar disputes about the merits of olympic fencing and its introduction as a sport in the first place. Olympic fencing is far removed from dueling, from which it grew, and for this reason it was heavily derided at the turn of the century. There is a book, "By the Sword" by richard cohen, which documents this evolution. Dueling itself faced the same criticism in earlier centuries, as swords and sword play had become completely irrelevant on the battlefield, and dueling had no real relationship with military arms or combat (outside of Napoleonic saber business). Similarly, nobody wins wars because of precision rifle fire today.

>>32552993
Thats silly, if we use your logic olympic recurves, javils, or target pistols arent weapons since they werent made for killing things.

>>32553145
They use all of that stuff to remove as many non-human varibles as possible. That why the winner is determined by who is the best shooter, not who has the best gear.

>>32554276
>especially considering they were in the women's categories
They do that for pretty much every women's sport except Tennis, though. Do you remember even hearing a peep when our Women's Basketball team opened its win streak to the point that there were players on the team who were not even alive the last time we lost an Olympic match?

No limitations other than number of shots, no electronics, and the targets are steel plate that need to be penetrated to count as a hit. (basaltic gel behind target to catch and objectively confirm penetration)
This effectively kills 22lr faggotry, and will probably result in the development of a hybrid firearm/rocket rifle.

>>Make biathlon great again
>Bring back 100m, 150m, 200m, and 250m targets, and don't have any mandates regarding cartridge other than non-self guiding.

after reading the official rules for biathlon, there is no mention of cartridge limitations. However a full or intermediate rifle cartridge would likely not be allowed to compete due to potential damage to the targets.

in theory, you could still show up to the Olympics with a nugget and compete

no, you couldn't. they're not simply gifted with a steady aim, they also train their muscles and stamina every day because even though you don't need to be an athlete to pop off a few decent shots, being an athlete helps and you don't become a world class olympic shooter without also being an athlete.

Because Olympic shooting is not about conventional gun skills that can apply in real life. Much of the skill needed to control the gun, account for imperfect ammo and gun manufacturing, maintenance on the weapon, external conditions like weather, and shooting in a timely manner are not accounted for. It's all precision. That's not bad, it just makes for boring watching to anyone with knowledge of guns.

This may be a little generous, but if you gave some /k/ocksucker and an Olympic shooter both an AK or AR and have them shoot outside with irons only, I'd put money on the /k/ocksucker

>>32565765
jesus fuck, what's with the insecurities?

>>32559222

>>32552935
Boring sport. 3 gun is more exciting.

>>32565765
Based on my experiences, you'd lose your money. I live in Finland and as you may know, we have conscription here. That means I got to see shooters with varying backgrounds learn those conventional gun skills and shoot RK with irons only. Those with sport shooting background were the best shooters without a doubt. They were the most accurate both on the range and also in combat shooting. Hunters were generally good in combat shooting but not as accurate on the range. Those without any former training were a mix of excellent shooters, due to quick learning abilities, basic shooters and the worst shooters.

No matter what kind of shooting you're doing, the basics are the same; the way you aim, squeeze the trigger, control your body, all the same. In combat shooting you're just doing everything faster but it's not a big deal, because again, everything is the same. In the military you only need to train situational awareness and moving. Hunters are naturally faster but it seemed like many hadn't bothered to learn proper shooting technique, so it was hard for them to hit targets consistently, especially at longer distances. Those without any shooting background were basically blank canvases for the instructors. They hadn't learned wrong or sloppy techniques in their youth, so if they were quick learners, the instructors could teach them to shoot very well. Basically practical shooting, SRA and the like would be ideal sports for real life training but younger people here don't usually train those. They usually drift that way after the service.

Also, your claim that Olympic or other sport shooters don't train gun control, learn about ammo, learn about gun manufacturing etc. is completely bogus.

I trained air pistol and rifle for many years before my service and ended up being one of the best shooters of my company. In refresher training I lose only to active IPSC shooters, because currently I can't train regularly but I still win hunters and other hobbyists.

>>32565765
Hilarious.
It's like saying an F1 driver is a shitty driver because its machine is too specific. None of us would stand a chance.

because this internet forum, like all internet forums, is based on fantasy and roleplay. gun discussion is all about making posters feel strong and brave and powerful, but Olympic shooting is a topic that concerns hard work, technical abilities and dedicated attention to craft and training. the mere existence of such a thing shames /k/ by being real.
