Are starting guns no longer used in track or arrows in archery?

I think he's the one who runs around calling anyone who owns a gun a scared coward and touts his expertise in Martial arts as what a "real man" should have..

Growing up in gun-free Singapore our swim team had to store the starting pistol at the police barracks and all purchases of starting blanks had to go through the police. When someone went to pick-up the starting pistol it had to travel in a locked case back to the meet and had to be returned immediately to the police after the meet.
Now all swim meets use a buzzer and a light.

Swim meets in Chicago have to use a bullhorn buzzer,
due to the false starts generated by ambient gunfire.
