Prince Harry’s Invictus Games criticized for ditching rifles in favor of laser guns
Fox News
Prince Harry's first Winter Invictus Games is facing backlash over the biathlon event, which is swapping rifles for laser guns over accessibility and safety concerns.
The organization explained the switch on their X page, stating, "Compared to live ammunition and laser rifles, optic rifles are in a class of their own. They're widely used for their enhanced safety, reliability and wide accessibility from novice to elite levels, including at the Paralympic Games and major international competitions."

They continued, "And, a broad range of people with disabilities – including visually impaired competitors – can use them. They offer a big range safety advantage given most of our Competitors are novices. As a Games legacy, future users can experience Biathlon without the safety risks and environmental impact associated with live fire ammo."
