@ThePreparedNorseman : Olympic pentathlon is assumingly ,Moderner Fünfkampf' in german. For political correctnes reason, and for whiny left wingers, firearms are replaced with ,laser guns' , why not with laser pointers? Cross country riding was replaced with ,Springreiten' ( don' t know english word), and olympic fencing is a total nonsens, if someone hits the opponent a 1/ 100 second earlier, he is the winner, but in reality there would be two dead fencers.In reality not the first thrust stops the attack of an enemy, good parrying protects life.

As a german, but non gunowner, i don' t know that Pistolen mit Anschlagschaft are common among german target shooters. But there is not only DSB ( Deutscher Schützenbund since 1861), there is also DSU ( Deutsche Schießsport Union), BDS ( Bund deutscher Schützen) and BDMP ( Bund deutscher Militär - und Polizeischützen, today also civilian members). So it is possible, that the smaller target shooters societies really sometimes shoot with stocked pistols.

@CandidZulu : I, german, no gunowner, simply wanted to note that swiss target shooting tradition has more military tradition than in other countries.

In a german arms magazine, i am german, i have seen a photo of wwl: Austro/ Hungarian soldiers testing full automatic versions of semi automatic pistols with Zweibein/ bipod. But this bipots could have been in this context simply items for pistol test.

@john-paulsilke893 : I, Brittas boyfriend, am no academic, so i don't know much about academic fencing. It is still practiced in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and in smaller numbers also in Poland, Belgium, Litauen ( Lithuania?) and Lettland ( Lathivia?). Those scars are nowadays no more wanted, so injuries are today better and more modern threated.

As far as i know, also Switzerland has a similar tradition.

A few months ago ,i, german, visited ,Waffenmuseum' at Oberndorf am Neckar. ( Mauser and fore runner Royal Wurttemberg Rifle Manufactoring, Heckler & Koch, Feinwerkbau). Most of Mauser produced rifles ( Gewehre) are in bad condition. But this is a substitute for stolen Mauser collection.
