Yes, well the things you'll never understand could fill a warehouse.

Yes, well if anyone knows a thing or two about warehouses it would be you.

you're kidding aren't you?

the average person is a retard. Its a fact IQ is decreasing and some parts of Australia, particularly QLD and WA are behind the 8 ball intellectually. Its also a fact that you can keep a retard amused indefinitely wth video games.

for a minute there I thought you were trying to say shooting for real, and shooting in a video game were the same ...... they're not even close

they activate the same part of the brain, so yes essentially both are the same.

Not sure the IOC would accept an Xbox instead of a rifle as worthy of a gold medal.

still, both are just as worthy.

not at all .... I just believe you need to try something before you know if you like it or not.

No, it'd be a little hard to do the Biathlon at the Winter Games with a video game console strapped to your back.

Actually, it wouldn't be much harder if a military simulation system is used, instead of a COTS video game console. Troops regularly conduct field exercises with simulation systems which would be more than adequate to simulate target shooting in sporting events.

I have.

I fired weapons in the Army Cadets, and I grew up with a mate who had a farm in the wheat belt: we fired guns on his property quite often.

But would it make a good spectator type sport, with the people standing around along the course in the snow?

They could play Wii Tennis instead of Wimbledon, but I doubt it would sell many tickets.

Of course it would. The rifles would fire blanks and a laser beam would replace the bullet. A series of sensors on and around the target would indicate where the aim went. As I pointed out, soldiers exercise all the time with this sort of system, it senses "hits" and emits an audible tone when a hit occurs and the target is then declared "dead" until an umpire turns the alarm off. Obviously the Biathlon competitors wouldn't need to wear the sensors, all they'd need was the "shooter".

Further, an Australian Company developed a shooting system which sensed fall of shot for small arms competitions over 30 years ago called DART (Direct Action Retaliatory Target). This is in use by the Army on most of its SMR (Static Mechanical Ranges). It displays on a VDU next to the firer where the shot has gone, into or by the target.
