I mean, they should add a version of this competition where you shoot two guns vaguely at the ceiling without looking at it, while dancing in a cow-boy outfit.

Oh the reason is simple, they're not in their own country

What's the difference when the Olympics are hosted in the US? Child-shaped targets?

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's not the shape, whispers it's the color.

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.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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...)

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Also, the air guns they use are absolutely not for children.

It's like saying they throw a discus for children in that sport because it looks like a frisbee.

When you say "children's gun" do you mean a gun for children to use, or a gun designed to use on children?

I thought American guns Are for shooting children...

[-] mriormro@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No, they're for shooting ourselves when we've had enough of the crushing capitalism.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe the army guys that the US sent over for trap shooting got lost on the way?

Or perhaps shotguns are for babies, and they only know how to fire rockets or something.
