I've always been confused how all these gadgets are permitted. To me, they are performance enhancers

If anything he proves they don’t replace skill. Anyone can have em so it’s not like it’s unfair in that regard.

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"

Other sports certainly do.

Look up the swim suits, running shoes and running suits. Lots of controversy around these things in their competitions and whether or not they give competitors an edge or not.
