A couple pictures of the Zimmerstutzen match. The English have darts, and the Germans have a shooting gallery using these rifles. They shoot a 4mm lead ball atop a CB cap, which looks like a tiny copper cartridge, sometimes called an acorn. Most of the barrel is a false muzzle, with about 8" of it being actual barrel. Some have the action up

Nice looking rifle!

Why is there only 8" of real barrel?

You'd have to ask the Germans. Probably the limitations of such a tiny cartridge.

Some more pictures of the stuff are at: http://www.pbase.com/halp/zimmerstutzen

Also, here's a picture of one compared to a .22LR. Puny.
