QUÉ SIGNIFICA STARTING PISTOL EN INGLÉS

Pistola de salida

Starting pistol

Una pistola de arranque o una pistola de arranque es una pistola que se dispara para iniciar carreras de pista y campo, así como carreras de natación competitiva en algunos encuentros, y el sonido de la pistola que sale sirve como señal para que los atletas comiencen el evento. Las cáscaras o los casquillos en blanco se utilizan para prevenir lesión, y así generalmente una nube del humo se puede ver cuando tiró. Pistolas de arranque pueden ser versiones modificadas de pistolas estándar incapaces de disparar balas, lo más comúnmente logrado por la soldadura de una obstrucción en el barril. Cuando se usa la temporización electrónica, a menudo se coloca un sensor en la pistola, que envía una señal electrónica al sistema de temporización al encender. Para los competidores sordo o para los sistemas electrónicos modernos, una luz se puede utilizar en su lugar. Un problema con el uso de pistolas de arranque es que, puesto que el informe de la pistola se lleva a los competidores a la velocidad del sonido, que tarda unos 3 milisegundos en viajar un metro, las posiciones más cercanas al arrancador escuchan el informe unos milisegundos antes Posiciones. Este tema es exagerado en las carreras donde los corredores comienzan en un escalonamiento, poniendo una distancia significativa entre los corredores más cercanos y más alejados.

A starting pistol or starter pistol is a handgun that is fired to start track and field races, as well as competitive swimming races at some meets, and the sound of the gun going off serves as the signal for the athletes to begin the event. Blank shells or caps are used to prevent injury, and thus usually a cloud of smoke can be seen when shot. Starting pistols may be modified versions of standard pistols incapable of firing bullets, most commonly achieved by welding an obstruction into the barrel. When electronic timing is used, a sensor is often affixed to the gun, which sends an electronic signal to the timing system upon firing. For deaf competitors or for modern electronic systems, a light may be used instead. An issue with the use of starting pistols is that, since the report of the pistol is carried to the competitors at the speed of sound, which takes about 3 milliseconds to travel one metre, positions nearest the starter hear the report a few milliseconds before further positions. This issue is exaggerated in races where the runners begin in a stagger, putting a significant distance between the nearest and furthest runners.
