Is there a listing of which pistols competitors are using for the different Olympic and Paralympic events?
Edit: I'll start. Steyr seems to be the preferred air pistol. What are the preferred 22s?

Are .22's used in any Olympic air gun competitions? I thought only .177 was used. (Oops! I see that .22 IS used for Olympic events... I had blinders on, thinking only of air guns. Sorry about that!)
In any case, the ISSF has a bunch of really cool videos up on Youtube of the competitions and very often they show closeups of the guns being used.

Wow, the Steyr is even more dominant than I had expected.

It is really interesting to see how, in 2010, the Men's AP shooters brought upwards of 10 different brands to the line ... and only 4 years later it had shrunk to 6. I bet as of 2016, it would be down to 4 or 5.

In free pistol, Morini is the great dominant.
In air pistol in Munich las week:
Omelchuk UKR Walther LP300 XT
Keles TUR Steyr Lp10e
Hoang VIE Morini 162 EI Ti
Pu Quifeng CHN Steyr Lp10e
Kindig GER Steyr Lp10
Pang W. CHN Steyr Lp10e (custom green, ugly)
J. Jongoh CHN Morini 162EI Ti (Custom red, nice)
Nilsson SWE Pardini? (I'm not sure, lefty shooter)
Jin Jongoh came seventh.
I think he is spending his bad shots in Munich and saving goods for Rio Olympics

Nilsson was using a Feinwerkbau P44 as far as I can tell.

Correct!!! Feinwerkbau P44.
Two athlets reach the finals with the same age 21 years (young) and same qualified score points (585).
Oscar Nilson from Sweden
Alexander Kindig from Germany
