I assumed these were small caliber, having not watched the event.

They are, either (iirc) 4.5mm (for womens 25m and mixed 10m) or 5.7mm (for mens 25m rapid). I'm pretty sure ~~he's competing in~~ 25m rapid, which has much more restrictive rules about kit than 10m or womens 25m.

(EDIT: He was not, this was the 10m mixed team where he and his partner took silver. I had forgotten that 25m rapid uses five round .22LR target pistols and not 5-shot PCP)
