Re: laser pistol for modern pentathlon

I work in the gulf region. Airpistols are fine for anyone - without a license- but not the powder guns, although I can go to ranges to practice with their non-competition style pistols.

anyway no problems for me now with the UIPM using only laser pistols.

BTW fedex delivered it to my door.

Re: laser pistol for modern pentathlon

ah good point. I suppose then, if the loud noise was important, the manufacturer could add an imitation one. And even artificial recoil. The only sound with the laser pistol is the click of the trigger. No recoil at all. It might be that other world bodies move to laser - if the 'real' ( and sad to ...

Re: laser pistol for modern pentathlon

pros and cons of the pistol. PROS: 1. totally safe. it only gives a flash of laser so it is rated as safe, even for eyes ( assuming someone doesn't look down the barrel and repeatedly pull the trigger).

Re: laser pistol for modern pentathlon

In Australia imitation weapons are on the prohibited list. If it even looks like a pistol it would need the same rego and licencing as a regular pistol. It is shocking to hear of this babification of a once proud country.. I am still trying to find a way to reduce the image size so I can upload the...

Re: laser pistol for modern pentathlon

Hi all so the pistol arrived - FLP15 from pentashot.eu. with the SBOXII both of these are approved for world competitions by UIPM . have tried it out and the results are excellent.

Re: laser pistol for modern pentathlon

On transportation internationally I was wondering if getting it sent ahead by fedex or dhl would be viable?

I have to discuss with pentashot how they send it to me as there is no dealer in my country..
