It could've been reflex. A kick was thrown and a man was bent backwards. Tough to know if that's a knockout in the heat of things while also having the wrong perspective.

Huh, duelling (with real pistols but wax bullets) was no-poo poo an event at the 1908 Olypmics. They should totally bring that back.

On technical points I'd argue this is more hardcore:

- Paintball is shot with pressurized air/gas in an implement that can't fire real ammo
- Olympic Duelling is shot with an unmodified firearm that's loaded with a wax bullet in place of a lead one, and with just a primer load of gunpowder rather than a full charge of powder.

I mean, clearly it's less hardcore than full-on fatal duelling, but not as watered-down as paintball.

I fully endorse this being an event in the next Olympics.

So what we need is Simmunition duels.

Simmunitions are the worst, I was the active shooter in some drills a local police department did a few years ago and I was covered in welts and bruises despite body armor and lots of clothing. I felt pretty badass at first as I was skipping around popping random shots off until I turned a corner and got absolutely lit up by 3 officers. Then we ran the scenario another five times...

Hah, my buddy did some similar training with sim rifles. Some guy turned the corner and blasted my friend almost point blank in the back and sides. He got bruised pretty bad and actually still has some scars on his sides where there was no plate protection.

Anyway they should do dueling with these

It's basically a compressed air launcher that fires big rear end slugs of paint or irritating powder.

As someone who has trained with it, I agree. They suck. Constant stoppages due to the low power of the round not cycling the pistol properly.

yeah every time we played with it I never had a magazine once not jam. just not enough oomph in the primer to cycle the action or seat the next round properly.

Yeah but then you have to wear a special belt with a couple of speedloaders on it and, eh, that's too much crap to carry for me. I already struggle with a phone, keys, wallet, watch, change and headphones.

You don't need a special belt, just a two-cell pouch to slip on your existing belt.

If you are in a situation where you need more than one magazine or speed loader, then you are probably already hosed.
