>The yuro needs low budget 90s cyberpunk cosplay and a rifle that looks like a Star Wars prop to print a decent group
But in all seriousness I just dislike this stuff for how snobbishly technical and removed from practicality it's is
>I just dislike this stuff for how snobbishly technical and removed from practicality it's is
It is extremely practical.
It gives you highly reproducible results, to the point where the only meaningful error is human. It is not that you dislike the practicality of the gun, only that you are unable to perceive guns as anything but machines for efficient killing.
>It gives you highly reproducible results
Only in an extremely controlled environment with a bunch of other equipment that would be a hinderance in any other context. It's the definition of impractical, like drag racing. That doesn't make it invalid, it's just my opinion that it's dumb. >you are unable to perceive guns as anything but machines for efficient killing
Yeah, no shit, that's their entire purpose. I know these ones have been engineered for sport to the point that the original purpose is entirely lost. That's why I'm making the dragster comparison.
Like the other anon said, they're firing loads that are underpowered even for a cartridge that's already very underpowered for shooting anything bigger than a dog. But Even if they weren't, these guns are designed to be conformed precisely to the shooter's body in a static stance. Actually trying to carry and shoot these in the field would be a nightmare.
>implying OP owns any guns at all
OP most likely has never seen a gun in his life, and is just here to le epic troll and get those updoots (you)s. It's going to be one of those threads that gets made every day or two for the next 10 years, like the pitbull ones.
I mean, I kinda understand that those are .22LR or air guns mostly, but there are many games with useless or almost completely useless weapons(look at Ruger .22 in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin from 2002 or once again, a Ruger .22 in New Vegas, in both of these games those guns are almost completely useless, you can get other suppressed guns with more stopping power in both of these), so why not include one as a flavor at least? Have game devs never heard of these Olympic guns? Surely they must have seen one in TV once at least during their lives? And now especially that more and more games are including rare and obscure guns like the Hellriegel in Battlefield 1? Even fricking CoD now has some obscure guns, because let's be honest, how many times can you just do Garand and Thompson again?
inb4 >Nooooo!!!! You can't treat target shooting as a competitive sport and autistically whittle it down to the core fundamentals as shown by its specialized equipment and practices! Shooting always has to be for hunting or defensive use!
Look how gay they are!
>You can't treat target shooting as a competitive sport
Yeah, the competitive aspect is why everybody clowns on it. Just like we all laugh at PRS and service rifle competitors
I disagree. Part of the difficulty in practical shooting is working around the limitations of a gun that's effective as a proper weapon.
If the gun has negligible recoil, you don't have to use as much muscle to keep it properly in your shoulder. If it's ultra light, you don't need to use as much muscle to keep it steady. If it has a ton of fittings to form to the body, you don't need to develop your shooting form on a standardized design. The olympic style firearms take the gun out of the gun. The skills and techniques translate very poorly to real shooting.
Well said. You obviously do want to strive for low recoil, light weight, good ergos, etc but only to the degree that they don't mitigate the effectiveness of the weapon, or take the actual gun out of the gun like you said
Your gay?
By the cute face and pale skin color
not being severly obese
By having proper groupings at ranges longer than 5 meters.
thats a funky looking gun
It has no style, it has no grace

You can shoot someone with a target shooting gun and they'll still die.
Lol, no.
They’re .22s that are only just a hair above the mouse fart loads that CAS uses.
An air soft gun is more dangerous

i want to eat her sweaty ass after a long training session in that leather suits...
I wish these ultra specialized Euro target guns were included in my shooty bang bang games. Just for novelty value.
Yeah, like how the frick isn't there a single game with such a gun?
It could have some cool mechanics too, like being able to set up a huge rest for it or something. Could be sweet, just saying.

*on TV
thousands in lenses but cannot afford to fix his goblin teeth
I don't believe you. The Euros I know wouldn't frick up capitalization and punctuation that badly.
Tactical advantage?
5mm tighter group at 100m
lol, lmao
What's so modular about the Colt CM series?
it shoots 308, and it's a drop in sear host, so you can do full auto 308.
Not that a yuropoor would know that. Probably too worried about making enough money for food that day 🙁
>post guns yuropoors
Sure
thats one gun
he specifically said "guns"
> You damn right ima Muricun *spits on his own floor

How does stuff like Ruger Precision Rimfire compare to these kinds of Olympic rifles?

These things are gay for the same reasons that sword fighting is cool and fencing is for homosexuals
I dislike them for the simple philosophy that, if you need all these aids and crutches, are you really even that good of a shot?
Actually, with such a config, you are probably eliminating a risk of a well aimed shot going to waste or a bad shot accidently hitting.
