Early 19th century (Napoleonic wars) German guns. Was there a sniper rifle?
I'm asking for a story I'm writing. There's one German soldier who is just a plain old guy, and then there's a German soldier who is a crack shot, can shoot the eye out of a mosquito. Ok, they're technically not German, they're Baden and Bavarian, German confederation and all that. Anyway, I want them to have slightly different guns, but sadly I know very little about antique weaponry. Were there guns that were better at distance shooting?
Thanks!

1 AnswerHomework Help1 decade agoIs the Dicta Boelcke relevant to jet-era fighter pilots?
I need to know!
The Dicta Boelcke is:
- Try to secure advantages before attacking. If possible keep the sun behind you. (The advantages he speaks of included speed, height, surprise, performance and numbers)
- Always carry through an attack once you have started it.
- Fire only at close range and only when your opponent is properly in your sights.
- Always keep your eye on your opponent, and never let yourself be deceived by ruses.
- In any form of attack it is essential to assail your opponent from behind.
- If your opponent dives on you, do not try to evade his onslaught, but fly to meet it.
- When over the enemy's lines, never forget your own line of retreat.
- For the Staffel: Attack on principle in groups of four or six. When the fight breaks up into a series of single combats, take care that several do not go for one opponent.
Any sources you might use to answer this question would be welcome. Thanks!

1 AnswerOther - Cars & Transportation1 decade agoHoping that someone here can help me with the program ktoon?
Because for chrissake, there's nowhere to find any information online.
I recently got Linux almost solely for this program, but it's not configuring correctly. Whenever I get to the second or third step of configuring the window freezes and I can't click the next button, only the finish button. I assume this problem has something to do with my next problem. Whenever I click on any of the tools, brushes and that kind of thing, nothing happens. I can't use them. Sometimes it opens a screen that lets me adjust brush settings, but I can't click any of the buttons on that and I'm never able to actually use the tools.
And there's NO ONLINE HELP.
If anyone here on the delightful yahoo answers knows how to use this program, please help me.
