Pistols are far less common than rifles in FT, and they are shot in special events designed to accommodate the differences in shooting style.. In the UK, 0.177 inch (4.5 mm) caliber rifles are the most popular, as the higher velocity (relative to a .22" rifle of the same power) of the pellets means they fly with a flatter trajectory over the distances involved.
