Pistol Shooting. Free 8.1

The game serves as a simulator for shooting with various iconic pistols, including the Beretta M9, Luger P08, Colt 1911, Makarov, and Desert Eagle. A key feature of the "Pistol Shooting" game that sets it apart from similar offerings is its innovative aiming mode that incorporates "alignment of the front sight."

What does "alignment of the front sight" entail? In most shooting simulations, players simply align the sights of the weapon with the target before firing. However, in this simulation, effective shooting requires a more nuanced approach. The pistol's sight system consists of a front sight and a rear sight with a notch. For accurate shots, players must position the top of the front sight in the center of the notch and ensure its upper edge aligns with the top plane of the rear sight. This process is referred to as aligning the front sight. Once this alignment is achieved, the player can then bring the sights in line with the target and take their shot.

Within the game settings, users can select between two distinct aiming modes:

• Alignment of sights disabled:
  In this mode, players use the joystick to align the pistol's sight directly with the target. Upon releasing the joystick, they will shoot.
• Alignment of sights enabled:
  This mode requires players to not only align the weapon's sights with the joystick but also adjust the front sight by tilting it. While this method presents increased complexity, it closely mirrors real-world aiming techniques.

Prior to shooting, players can choose from eight different types of targets. Each shot is recorded for accuracy and time taken, allowing players to strive for improvement in their performance even after reaching maximum scores. This means that better results can be achieved by decreasing shooting time.

This simulation game effectively teaches fundamental principles of pistol aiming and enhances proficiency with other firearms equipped with mechanical iron sights.
