Windage is no longer a factor.

If there’s no projectile,then it’s not a shooting competition.I don’t care what these new world weenies say.

Neither is kick from discharging the weapon. Small as an air gun is in the first place.

Exactly. This requires less skill on the part of the shooter. Similarly, "real" marksmanship has something of an element of luck and equipment in as much as the precise manufacture of the projectile, the locktime of the trigger (although most competition air pistols these days have, I believe elecric triggers), the precision manufacture and flaws of rifling in the barrel, etc.

There are many more variables to be considered, controlled and adjudicated in the mind of the shooter when you're actually sending a pellet from Point A to Point B as precisely as possible.

Laser tag merely tests one's abilities to align the sights. In real marksmanship, that's merely the starting point.
