Can “Gewehr” and “Waffe” be used interchangeably?
1
It seems that "Gewehr" can mean gun, but also specifically rifles. Can "Gewehr" be used more generally to mean all guns, or does it only mean rifles specifically?

"Waffe" means "weapon" and that doesn't have to be something that can shoot.

No. Gewehr is rifle, a special case of a weapon you can fire, which in turn is a special case of Waffe (any weapon).

Gewehr typically denotes any gun that has a long barrel (as opposed to a pistol).
And no, it is not the generic term for gun, that would be Schusswaffe.

Since Wehr only means defense, there must be a particular language historic reason. Imaginably, pistols were an innovation taken from Italian, contrasting with the long builds. A Pistol is generically called "Handfeuerwaffe". In the same way, a "Schusswaffe" should, but practically doesn't denote an archers bow. In contrast to a bow, guns involve gun-fire, but we do not say "Feuerwaffe", though the term does seem to exist, to my surprise.

@vectory Why do you say a bow isn't a Schusswaffe? If you asked me to name one, I'd probably name a type of gun first, but if you asked me what type of weapon a bow was, I'd definitely say Schusswaffe. The crossbow is another such case.

@vectory Sorry, you're thinking of Bundeswehr or Feuerwehr, but the historic term is, rather specifically, a long knive with one sharp edge, the defence weapon of a free man, but not a nobleman or for war. And "Feuerwaffe" separates the gun from the crossbow, both of which are "Schusswaffen". Also in modern legal terms, where the latter are qualified by the ability to be kept charged without effort, and released by a trigger. A bow is not per se regarded as a weapon, but only if actually used as such.

Waffe = weapon
This can be a gun, a bomb, a missile, and many other things that are made to hurt or kill people.
Depending on the context a Waffe also can be anything that can be used to hurt or kill people, independent for what it was made. So also a screwdriver, a baseball bat or a box cutter can be weapons.
Gewehr = riffle, long gun
A Gewehr is any gun with a long barrel, i.e. something to shoot bullets, but not a pistol.
Schusswaffe = gun
Schusswaffe (literal: shoot-weapon) is the German word for any weapons that can be used to shoot bullets.

German language (and law) makes a clear distiction between a weapon, made for the purpose (a gun, a spring knive, a crossbow), and sth. that is just used as one in a given case (screwdriver, axe, bow and arrow ,..).

Waffe = weapon
This can be a gun, a bomb, a missile, and many other things that are made to hurt or kill people.
Depending on the context a Waffe also can be anything that can be used to hurt or kill people, independent for what it was made. So also a screwdriver, a baseball bat or a box cutter can be weapons.
Gewehr = riffle, long gun
A Gewehr is any gun with a long barrel, i.e. something to shoot bullets, but not a pistol.
