\\\"Also because even with an electronic night-vision sight a pump-action shotgun will NOT behave like a Sniper Rifle...\\\"

It doesn\\\'t seem clear to me whether the film-makers intended the assassins weapons to be shotguns firing buckshot, shotguns firing slugs, or rifles/carbines of some kind. In the scene where one of the gunmen punctures the greenhouse window, the film shows only one bullet-hole through the glass.

According to [[http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Outland this wiki]], it\\\'s all shotties, all the way.

Maybe we need a GunsDoNotWorkThatWay entry?

This is true in the movie. If I recall correctly for the book though he is musketeer well before the end.

Ok found what I was looking for.

\\\"The Cardinal had learned of the three musketeers\\\' and D\\\'Artagnan\\\'s stay in the bastion of St. Gervais and how they fought and killed several Rochellais. Richelieu rewarded D\\\'Artagnan with a promotion into the King\\\'s Musketeers. He wasn\\\'t promoted to lieutenant, however, until after Milady\\\'s execution and his arrest by the Cardinal\\\'s orders.\\\"

D\\\'Artagnan was not one of the original three but became a member of their group shortly after meeting them.
