At the 1908 Summer Olympic Games in London, it was [possible](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/wax-bullet-duels-were-the- paintball-fights-of-1909) for losing participants to be pronounced dead—theoretically, anyway. For a fleeting period of time in the early 20th century, a form of pistol dueling grew in popularity by promising all the excitement of a fatal rivalry with none of the actual bloodshed. Duelists, armed with specially-made pistols and painful (but not deadly) wax bullets, faced off against one another in a mannered test of sidearm skill that encompassed not one but two Olympic Games.
