What is the weight limit including the sling in 5-Meter Air Rifle?

• A. 5 lbs
• B. 6 lbs
• C. 7 lbs
• D. 8 lbs

Answer: (B)

For 5-Meter Air Rifle, the equipment limit is a maximum total weight, including anything attached to the gun that’s used in aiming and stabilization. The official maximum is six pounds, and that total must include the sling. So you can have a rifle plus sling (and any other attached gear) weighing up to six pounds, but not more. Five pounds would still be allowed, since it’s under the limit, but it’s not the maximum. Seven or eight pounds would exceed what’s permitted. The sling matters because it’s part of how you support and control the rifle during aiming, so its weight is counted in the total.
