They aren't musketeers and that gun ain't a musket...... It's a Caliver which would fit under riflemen......EchoAltair 04:59, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

• The true rifles came into use during the mid-19^th Century; whilst there were "rifles" available during the 15^th 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)
