Chinanews client, Beijing, July 28th (Reporter Xing Rui) On the day after the Tokyo Olympics opened, the Chinese sports delegation has already won 9 gold medals.
Among them, the Chinese shooting team contributed 3 yuan.
Watching the athletes pierce Yang with a hundred steps on the field, some netizens issued a "soul torture": "Why don't you send snipers to the shooting competition?"
In the eyes of many people, snipers often have amazing marksmanship.
In the TV series "Latent", "Cuiping" played by Yao Chen is a sharpshooter.
She could smash a glass bottle with one shot from a long distance; she could also hide in a car, across a large road, and let Lu Qiaoshan, who was sitting in a coffee shop, be killed by a single shot.
So, if Cuiping goes to participate in the Olympics, can he easily win the Olympic champion?

In fact, shooting in sports events and shooting in military events are completely different.
First, let's compare the shooting targets of the two.
Take the Olympic Games 10-meter air rifle as an example. The target paper is a square with a total side length of only 80 mm.
The ten rings we often say, that is, the bull's-eye of the target paper, are only 0.5 mm in diameter.
During the competition, the target must be printed on a piece of A4 paper, and then placed 10 meters away.
Although the air rifle used by the athletes has a scope, it is not a magnifying glass.
In other words, the target that the athlete needs to aim at during the game is a small black spot on the wall.
In the air rifle mixed team competition, Chinese player Yang Qian had a 10.9 ring score.
What is this concept?
This is equivalent to placing a one-yuan coin 10 meters away. There is a small hole in the center of the coin. If the small hole is hit by a shot, it is equivalent to hitting a 10.9 ring.

It is precisely because the target is so far away and small that athletes often miss the target in shooting competitions.
In addition, shooting sports are carried out indoors, and the target is fixed and static.
However, as a sniper, he not only often works in the field, but also measures the direction and distance of the wind, and requires a variety of different targets, and even needs to track moving targets.
Secondly, shooters and snipers have different range requirements.
The sniper has to kill with one shot while pursuing long-range shooting, and also maintain his concealment and agility.
Shooting sports actually pursue precision more than distance.
Finally, although they are shooting guns, there is actually a difference between the guys used by the athletes and the snipers.
The gun used by the sniper is more lethal and has a strong recoil.
Although the guns used by shooting athletes are also lethal, the caliber of the bullets is smaller and the recoil is also smaller.

They all say "interlaced like a mountain".
Both the shooter and the sniper seem to be engaged in a job.
But they have essential differences in training content, shooting targets, and the use of firearms.
Therefore, if a sniper goes to the Olympics, he may really not be able to fight those professional shooters.
On the contrary, athletes who are accustomed to competing for medals may not be able to complete the sniper mission.
In fact, shooting sports originated from hunting and military activities.
The Olympic Games did not prohibit snipers from participating.
However, it is really "professional mismatch."
As sang in that song: "We are different, everyone has a different situation..." (End)
