[edit] 3 Musketoons?

What do you call someone who uses a musketoon? Elmer Fudd 19:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

This is just a wild guess, but given that:

• The word carbine was derived from the French "carabins", the name for the troops that used the shortened muskets
• The boundary between musketoon and carbine is blurry

I'd say that there's a possibility that the answer is that "carabins" used musketoons, and the name of the short rifle later changed to "carbine". scot 20:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
