1.) The most significant is the expensive and specialized gun with its bizarre Fortner action and diopter sights. It's a big upfront expense relative to the cost of other rimfire rifles. I would change this to either require a typical Mauser bolt action or a blowback semiautomatic with optical sights. Most American gun owners will have one of these already. They can also use it for other things aside from just biathlon.

More athletes from minor nations like Mongolia, Greenland etc. so every team can at least field say a two person M & F relay (currently I make loads of new athletes for this purpose but it gets dull doing it with every new beta). And countries that have 3 athletes (Like Belgium and Japan) just add a fourth athlete and 1 like Moldova and Romania add 1 extra athlete. I have a formula using real biathlon. com but it's time consuming.

-42 athletes per division is way too low! It makes team races super boring and it takes out one of the best features of biathlon, which is that there are so many countries that can compete for top spots! There should be 2 divisions, around 100 athletes in each. I played the game for 10 seasons, I did not face any bugs which is nice, but after 10 seasons the variety of nations gets even less exciting. New athletes appeared only from handful of countries, almost all new youth athletes were from Norway/Sweden/France/Russia/Germany, i also had few athletes from Ukraine/Belarus/Finland/Switzerland and Italy BUT i think 0 from other countries :/

A Biathlon rifle is a specialized rifle designed for use in a biathlon event. Specialist biathlon rifles are ultra lightweight, and usually equipped with straight-pull actions, integrated magazine carriers, and ergonomic stock designs suitable for both prone and standing positions.[1]

Biathlon rifles are usually built to comply with technical regulations of a competition sanctioning body. The most well known is the International Biathlon Union (IBU), which holds competitions in winter biathlon, which is part of the Winter Olympics, as well as summer biathlon events.

For IBU competitions, the total weight of the unloaded rifle has to be between 3.5 and 7.5 kg (7.7 and 16.5 lb).[citation needed] The current weight limit was established around the 1986 season after Glen Eberle had showed the world a new and lighter stock design. At that time olympic biathlon rifles usually weighed well over 5 kg, and it was a common belief that a rifle needed to be somewhat heavy in order to be stable enough to shoot accurately, particularly with the fast heart rate and shortness of breath experienced during a biathlon race. Another contribution to the relatively high weight was to make the stocks stronger, since biathlon stocks commonly were known to be at risk of breaking around the pistol grip area when the athlete fell. Eberle set out to make a stronger and lighter design, and received a research grant from the United States Olympic Committee. He consulted engineers, biomechanical experts and NASA scientists, and the work resulted in a design which combined wood of Sitka spruce and carbon fiber composite materials.[9] This resulted in a biathlon stock that was 1.6 kg lighter than any on the market, a substantial weight saving on a 20 km biathlon race. In addition to being easier to carry while skiing, Eberle also felt he had demonstrated that an athlete with a lightweight, but well balanced and ergonomically correct rifle, would shoot better than with the conventional heavy rifles. The Eberle stock quickly became popular, with most athletes competing with either the Eberle stock or similar designs. After some initial resistance, the world biathlon governing body accepted the new low weight design, and used it as a standard for the current 3.5 kg limit.[10]

Fullbore bolt-action rifles are typically used in moose biathlon and Nordic field biathlon competitions. Nordic field biathlon rules stipulate a minimum trigger pull of 1,500 g (3.3 lb) in the diopter classes, and 1,000 g (2.2 lb) in the scope classes.

IBU competitions, such as in biathlon at the Winter Olympics, uses the .22 LR cartridge only. The .22 LR rimfire cartridge was standardized for IBU biathlon competitions in 1978. Current rules require that the muzzle velocity must not exceed 360 m/s, and the bullet must weigh between 2.55 and 2.75 grams.[citation needed] .22 LR is also the only approved cartridge in the Nordic field biathlon smallbore class. The .17 HMR cartridge is permitted in the moose biathlon smallbore class, and is predominant due to better ballistics at 100 meters.

In fullbore moose biathlon and Nordic field biathlon, 6.555 mm and .308 Winchester are the most common cartridges. Any cartridge up to 857mm is permitted in the scope class of Nordic field biathlon, however, the cartridge should be suitable for the targets and firing distances, which can be 1 mrad (3.4 moa) sized targets anywhere from 100 to 600 meters.

In IBU competitions, only non-magnified diopter rear and globe front sights are permitted. Most classes in Nordic field biathlon are also restricted to diopter sights. An eyecup (blinder) is often used instead of eye protection, but this is an optional feature.[12] Globe front sight inserts used in IBU competitions usually have aperture openings between 2.8 and 3.4 mm.[13] Most Russian rear sights are adjusted following the counterclockwise (CCW) convention, while German diopter sights often are adjusted clockwise (CW).[14]

Scope sights are permitted in moose biathlon competitions, as well as in the scope class in Nordic field biathlon. In moose biathlon, the shooting is performed standing at a distance of 100 meters. Magnification of the scope sight can be chosen at the preference of the competitor. For example, scopes with variable magnification between 4-12 or 8-20 are common. Experienced competitors have a tendency to shoot with the scope set to a higher magnification than beginners. In Nordic ski field shooting, the firing distances can be the same as in Nordic field shooting, i.e. between 100 and 600 meters.

The amount of sight adjustment performed with one click varies with type of firearm. Competition air and smallbore rifles typically have finer sight adjustments. In fullbore biathlon, both optical and iron sights usually have 0.1 mrad (0.3 MOA) adjustments.

In IBU, the competition rules does not specify the barrel length and total length of the firearm, and firearms designers have therefore optimized these parameters to achieve optimal and stable performance from the ammunition across different weather conditions. Barrel lengths are usually around 50 to 55 cm (20 to 22 in), and the overall length is usually around 1 m (39 in). Many .22 LR barrels used in biathlon feature a choked (constricted) muzzle, presumably to achieve better performance in cold weather.[citation needed] Choked muzzles are also commonly seen in other high precision competition rifles, like in free rifle (ISSF 50 meter prone and three positions).

In moose biathlon, barrel length must be within the legal requirements for hunting moose. In the Nordic field biathlon diopter class, only three standard barrel lengths are approved (67, 70 and 74 cm (26, 28 and 29 in)). No barrel length restrictions apply to the scope class in Nordic field biathlon.

Maintenance of biathlon rifles in general follows the common principles of firearm maintenance. This includes checking that all screws are properly tightened (stock, action, sights, sling, carrying harness and accessories), inspecting the stock for cracks and lubricating all gliding parts.[15]

After long use of .22 LR rifles, lead deposits can have a tendency to build up in the receiver, which can require more thorough cleaning once in a while to ensure continued precision and smooth operation without jams.[16] A dirty action is seldom an issue on fullbore biathlon rifles, except for some self loading designs.

Some special considerations include if the biathlon rifle has been used in cold temperatures, in which case condensation may form on the cold surfaces of the firearm when it is taken inside. Wet weather may also cause moisture on the firearm. In such cases, it is common to dry and "acclimatize" the firearm in room temperature for a short while (i.e. an hour) before applying lubricant. The bolt and any snow covers should then be left open to help remove moisture.[16]

The design dates back to 1984, when Peter Fortner was having beers with Peter Angerer from West Germany who recently had taken the individual biathlon gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics.[19] Angerer expressed that he wanted a rifle which could match those used by Soviet and East German competitors. Fortner took the challenge and within a few months developed and patented what was to become known as the "Fortner action", with the 1827 Fortner introduced around 1984.[20] The Fortner action is produced by Fortner Waffen under licence from Anschtz, and are marketed as Anschtz rifles.

Other biathlon rifles formerly produced by Anschtz include the Anschtz 1427B Biathlon built on a Match 54 14XX action,[26][citation needed] the Anschtz 1827 (not to be confused with the 1827 Fortner) built on a Match 54 18XX action[27][citation needed] and the Anschtz 64R Biathlon built on a Match 64 action.[citation needed]

In 1970, Izhmash started producing the liqhtweight traditional bolt action Bi-4 rifle ( [ru]) in 5.615 mmR (.22 LR), which was produced until 1978. For a while, only traditional bolt-action mechanisms were permitted, but this restriction was removed towards the end of the 1970s.[when?] In 1976, the Finns presented the first rimfire rifle with a toggle action called Finnbiathlon, allowing for faster reloading.[28] Izhmash soon followed and presented their version of a rimfire toggle action later in 1976, a mechanism which is still used today on Izhmash sport, hunting and tactical rifles. In 1977, when international biathlon standardized the .22 LR caliber, Izhmash released Bi-6 bolt action rimfire rifle.[29] When some of the restrictions on action types were lifted somewhere around 1980,[29] Izhmash took the lead by introducing the Izhmash Bi-7 side-toggle rifle in 1979. The Bi-7 had a weight of 4.0 kg, had a 60 cm long barrel, 111 cm overall length and an sight radius between 81 and 83 cm.[30] The trigger pull weight was adjustable between 200 and 1000 grams.[30] Soviet athletes went to the Biathlon event at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid using Bi 7-2 straight pull rifles, and won most medals. The Bi 7-2 rifle set itself apart from the previous Bi 7 toggle series with the introduction of a new barrel locking system which allowed for an increased rate of fire. Across the 1980s, the design proved very successful with Soviet athletes taking the relay gold medales in three successive Olympics. e24fc04721
