* - Did not finish

The ones I left out, I just don't know. If I've made any mistakes I'm sure someone will be along to correct them. Nigel Barrett switched from the Pardini because he mistakenly engaged the safety, it was taken from the range to be checked and he was allowed finish using the Hammerli.

The time limits included sighters
