Specifically, the biathlon. Listening to both the men and women shooting, it sure soudns like a 22 rifle, however the ejected casings look far longer than even a 22 Long rifle casing.
However, specs for the max velocity seems to be below 1100 fps and lower than the speed of sound, which would indicate a 22 short. Does anyone know for sure.
Regardless, watching them shoot offhand, after skying that hard, makes me wonder how they hit anything.
On the side, it been a great Olympics so far, even though I have been disappointing at some of the outcomes. Our US athletes, even when not winning, have done exceedingly well. Of course, the US hockey team won 3 to 1, that is always good.
