The flobert was a type of European rifle (usually French or Belgian) used for short range target shooting. They used very low powered rim fire ammunition, and the system of closing the breech is very weak. These should NEVER be fired with standard ammunition, even if it fits. Link below will take you to photos of Flobert firearms. There were also Flobert pistols.
