The first use of laser pistols instead of air pistols in a non-youth competition was in 2011. [4] The 2012 Olympics saw the first use of laser pistols in modern pentathlon during an Olympic competition. After that, laser pistols are not only employed in modern pentathlon but in triathle and laser-run events as well.
The later models had large oversized trigger guards [8] and Picatinny rails for mounting a wide range of sights and scopes. In 2010, Chiappa began marketing a version of the Aircrew Survival Weapon called the Chiappa M6 Survival Gun. The Chiappa has a 12 gauge shotgun or 20 gauge barrel over a .22 Long Rifle or .22 Magnum barrel. [9]

The sight can be adjusted for range and windage by simply tilting or pivoting the holographic grating. [4] To compensate for any change in the laser wavelength due to temperature, the sight employs a holography grating that disperses the laser light by an equal amount but in the opposite direction as the hologram forming the aiming reticle.
