Can anybody confirm some rumors that ISSF is planning on returning to the old rules (.22 short pistol) for Rapid Fire modality.

That would just about kill the sport?

If so, that would be one of the dumbest ideas ever heard.

I've not heard that rumour and it would achieve nothing, other than harm the sport. I can't think of a single benefit to such a proposal and hatful of reasons against it.
May I ask where the rumour came from - anyone credible ?
Rob.

It sounds like the sort of thing you would hear from someone trying to sell you a .22 short pistol ;-)

A rumour left over from April 1st?

Well, I'd be all for it. And a lot of people are probably waiting for that - or how many Pardini GPS and GPE's have you seen for sale in the last 3 years?

ISSF only change the rules from 1 January of the year after the Olympics. About the only interesting
draft changes are the reduction in CF pistol's trigger weight to 1000g and the use of inner 10s to determine tie breaks in eliminations.

As I understand it, it's not just for the elimination rounds, it's for the qualification rounds as well.

Quite correct Dave, the proposed process applies to everything aside from finals

What a pain in the ass.
Now we have to record Xs as we go just in case there is a tie. Most painfull in RF at least FP and AP targets can be re checked afterwards but RF targets get patched so will have to be done every series.
Just another example of the ISSF rule makers only giving a toss about those with electronic targets!

Not quite - shoot offs still apply to 1-3 for Standard, CF and ties for 6th place in RFP
