Talk:Schützenverein

Untitled

Hi there, this is my first comment ever in Wikipedia, so forgive if I made a mistake. However, I noticed a heavy mistake in the introduction to this Article: The part "Schützen" of the name is translated with "to protect", which is not exactly correct. "To protect" in German is "schützen" with a small "s", but with a capital "S" (as in "Schützen") it translates to gunner or shooter, which also is the German meaning of that term. I'd translated the word literally as Shooter's Club... Thanks. - NovaColonel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.49.40.204 (talk) 11:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Corrected it. "Schütze" is a marksman. -- megA (talk) 23:03, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

"Schützen" rifles?

I'm surprised to find no article on the distinctive "Schützen" rifles so often seen from the 19th century era. Not even a redirect or mention on the disambiguation page. I assume they are related to these organizations, because they were brought to the US by German immigrants. They are very distinctive, with single-shot barrels, fancy iron sights, and long metal prongs on the butt to help keep the gun located on the shoulder. They are fired standing, offhand, and I think maybe one handed, or with the left hand held very close to the firing hand, with a very short fore end and an exposed barrel. That would explain the need for the metal prongs to keep the gun held horizontal.
