User blog comment:G1n032/How do you pronounce gewehr?/@comment-1627289-20100611064618

Yeah. Pretty much. German's an easy language once you know the key rules:
 * W's sound like V's (as in this context)
 * E's sometimes sound like A's, vice versa.
 * Funny looking B sign is a shortened version of ss.

It's easy.

It just means Rifle as well, if you didn't already know that.
