Biathalonn used to use serious rifle rounds before they switched to .22 LR.

Tbf you could definitely hunt squirrels, weasels, stoats, hare, tarmigan and many other winter animals with 22LR.

Sure, but biathlon wasn't about hunting. Nor was the pentathlon.

Yeah 10m distance with a laser pistol really downplays the old cavalry competition with real high caliber handguns. That said, the old competition was fucking stupid because it allowed cavalry officers to complete but not enlistedmen, because enlistedmen were supposedly more professional and officers were the real amateurs. So you can say the rules were always stupid.
