Webley Mk VI .455

No, I wasn't aware of such a popularity in America ! That sounds fine anyway. It pleases me to know that US enthousiasts are keen to fire our ex-military rifles... because the Swiss Confederation gave up selling those rifles from army surplus as they were too often purchased by ex-Yougoslavians, if you see what I mean.
 
I was aware the French word for rifle was "fusil" but I wasn't so up on the word "mousqueton," which sound very antique.

My son informs me that because of the widespread issue of the M4 carbine in the United States Army, that some soldiers have referred to the full grown M16 rifle as a "musket."
