Gun power output standards differ. For example at the Grenada European Championships Anschütz gun users won the most medals. 10 m gun model 9003 Premium power output is 9.5 Joules.

Always the referee may allow stronger guns to compete in the so called ‘free class’ . Stronger guns do wreck the silhouette much faster. Airguns with the power output over 27 Joules should be however classed as hunting weapons. On the other hand, if the pellets speed rises over 315m/s and approaches the speed of sound at 340m/s, then the accuracy of the shot decreases. Shorter hunting weapons or carabines are fit for the Hunting Field Target, which is a lot less technical field of sports than Sporting Field Target.
