I've found out off my grandfather who's an expert in guns and history and he says they were called Arquebusiers...... The Arquebus was the original rifle and the was succeeded by the Caliver and a little later on, the Musket...... In all the demos the guns they use are too short to be Muskets, not alot of soldiers liked them because they were top heavy and you need to put it on a rest whenever you needed to shoot it. As the don't need rests and look alot shorter, thus, easier to manouvre suggesting they're Calivers...... Apparently, Musketeer is slang anyway, their proper name was Arquebusier, whether they used an Arquebus, Caliver ir Musket...... I don't know how to physically 'source' the information though......

- The true rifles came into use during the mid-19th Century; whilst there were "rifles" available during the 15th Century, they were even more prone to misfire and crappiness then muskets, so it's is extremely unlikely for soldiers protecting a Pope to be armed with rifles, and not muskets. Also, no information we have had has explicitly called them "riflemen", and not musketeers, so we should probably place them under the most likely. That said, if you can find a source explicitly calling them "riflemen", then I'll concede. -- Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 11:03, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
