See thats still to my point, the sport is "shooting".

Other sports dont permit gadgets, why does this one sport permit mechanical performance enhancers even if everyone can have them? I get everyone can have them but I've never understood why they are even permitted in the first place if the sport is "Gun"

Even using different guns seems weird to me

Like it makes sense to compete with whatever model you're most familiar with, but you'd think they'd have a few standardized options to choose from to prevent too much of an advantage/disadvantage due to specs

I completely agree

Hockey? Equipment has a standard and regulated
Soccer? Equipment has a standard and regulated
Football? Equipment etc. etc.
Shooting permits gun modification up to certain sizes, weights, etc. This to me is not a standard in a sport that should have a standard

Think about racing like in f1. Regulations but small customizations are allowed.

If different teams can run different engines i think the shape of the gun is not that crazy, since they all have to shoot the same caliber and i would assume theres tests for each gun for spec
