50 meters?! Good gods. With the pistol I'm best at, I'm happy to ring 10" steel at 10 meters.
Most of the guys practicing pistols at the range are shooting paper plates at 3-4M.
How big was the target?
The olympic airsoft is at 10m. The pellets are 4.5mm and the bullseye is 11.5mm.
This would similar to hitting at target with a bullseye of 57.5mm or 2.26" at 50m. Adding in greater inaccuracy of the bullet due to wind, etc... say a bullseye 2.5".
When I was a teen on the ranch in Montana and shooting was my main form of entertainment, I could do it easily. Today, I would be lucky to clip the edge of the paper until I got a few thousand rounds of practice in. It's about form, breathing, trigger control and a hell of a lot of practice.
The target was 50cm/~20in diameter, so the bullseye was probably 5cm/~2in diameter. I don't think the full results are recorded but the top shooters were probably hitting a few tens in 60 shots.
