Also can anybody enlighten me with regard to restrictions on .22 pistols. The regulations state that the following guns won't be restricted
short firearms designed for use in connection with competitions governed by International Olympic Committee regulations:
(i)air-operated firearms of 4.5 millimetres (.177 inch) calibre,
firearms using .22 inch rim-fire percussion ammunition

Will all .22 calibre pistols be off the restricted list or are they talking specifically about true target type pistols. Apologies if this has already been covered. Thanks
