Laser guns
Laser guns in modern pentathlon
Laser guns describe guns converted from their regular ammunition to using lasers to hit reflective targets. These have been used in clay shooting and were suggested for use in the Modern pentathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics after a successful trial at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore. Use of these laser guns opens up new venues for gun sports because of the increased levels of safety. Although more powerful guns that pose a danger do exist [1]
