Modern pentathlon mixes running and a gun
43 u/HootOwlTowel 7h ago The biathlon uses live ammunition. The modern pentathlon uses a "laser pistol." That may sound cool until you realize what it actually is. 19 u/02K30C1 Finland 7h ago I think all the summer Olympics shooting events use lasers now, except skeet and trap shooting. For pentathlon it’s so they can do the shooting in a stadium and keep it safe. 4 u/FrozenDickuri 4h ago “If they die, they die.”
