A group of 16 year-olds, all boys and girls, are at camp and shooting rifles at a target (a rifle fires one projectile). One of the kids shows up with a shotgun to shoot at the target (a spray of many little projectiles, like BBs.).
.Will this be an eveny balanced, fair, target competition? Why, or why not?
@averagejoe1 saidWTF are you jibbering on about now?

Yes well done Joe now you’ve cleared up the age old question of whether shotguns are more efficient at killing swimmers than rifles, I thinkš¤
@vivify saidVivify, who still does not know about the Hunter Investigations, is now telling us that if we aim a rifle at a target, that it is more likely to hit the target than the widely-dispersed BBs of a shotgun shell, which spray over a 5-yard area. There are on average about 100 BB's in a shell.
Rifles have a clear advantage in accuracy for target shooting over the shotgun.
Nice try, Vivify . For you, more simplification: A group all uses the same exact type gun. But one child uses a different type of gun. Would that be a fair competition? Vivify?
@averagejoe1 saidThere's a rule book Joe. No need for government intervention.

For precise target shooting or plinking at longer ranges, or for hunting larger game, the rifle is the clear winner
@wildgrass saidExactly. The government has nothing to do with the simple question between two humans. One human thinks that there should be certain divisions. Another human thanks no. I am simply asking how you think that way. If a man can race with girls in the pool, why can I not a heavy weight boxer box a welterweight boxer?

@vivify saidCorrect. But if you and I are shooting at a target 100 feet away. My shotgun is more likely to hit the target than your rifle. Shoot into a general area and I will catch that target. You have to aim directly at the target.. A child can hit such target with a shotgun, because there’s no aiming very much required, you just shoot down range and you’re gonna get that target. Not so with a rifle

@averagejoe1 saidDo you suggest such a competition?

Like, maybe a new Olympic Event?..............No?
In that case, does anyone really care?

There is an interesting story behind Annie Oakley's marriage though.
@jimm619 saidThat question has already been asked, does anybody care? I would say the children that are swimming would care, and I would say if their parents would care. Can you at least agree on that?

@wildgrass saidThe problem Is that female swimming competition used to be a division, but will now cease to exist, due to the forcefulness of liberals. I think I said that right.

If 10 black guys say let us all have a black racing competition, and I walk up there ,a white guy, do I have a ride to race with them? Government having nothing to do with it. Should I be allowed to race with them?
