Pastor excuse me but for me this is quite irrelevant.
Nowadays when people say "euro" they have in mind the picture of a specific type of gun design, that is rear handle.
Of course I can just speak for myself, but I guess that all the guys who voted "euro" in the DB poll had in mind that type of gun that is
currently referred to as "euro", whose handle is in the rear.
PS: in Italy and France we call it "arbalete". The word "euro" is inappropriate IMHO, but it's generally used in anglo countries and so it goes...
