:Good question - according to the [[teppo]] article, "rifle" seems to be a general catch-all term for firearms ("rifle" and "matchlock rifle" both appear in there), but I don't know if using that term is incorrect - the author of the teppo article could be mistaken - I'm not sure if it is a technical term or a general term.  --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 20:39, 23 November 2007 (PST)
