[edit] Removed content

I'm not really knowledgable enough to decide on this, but for what it's worth, this content was removed from the Smallbore section [1] without a comment explaining why. --Interiot 04:02, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Specifically it refers to the 0.22" caliber as used in the Olympic rifle and pistol target shooting disciplines (Airguns of 0.277" and Shotguns of a larger bore are also have Olympic events). Although the projectile is relatively small and usually (for target shooting purposes) subsonic, it can travel up to one mile and although not accurate over 200m is still dangerous up to its maximum range.
