were all Germans right handed??

As I have aged, my dominant eye has slowly changed. I'm still firmly left handed, but my dominant eye has changed in the last couple of years to my right. The most evident affect is when I'm shooting shotgun. If I don't purposely close my right eye prior to calling for the clay bird, I will see the side of my barrel instead of the top. Thus most likely to miss. When shooting bullseye, it's not an issue with a red dot, but with irons I do find myself pushing the pistol to align with my right eye. Again not so good an idea. Rifles do not seem to be an issue. I shoot and am competitive in Black Powder Cartridge Silhouette and Target Rifle and still currently hold five National Records using an original Trapdoor Springfield.

Woody, knowing nothing about those weapons, do they fire similar to a Thompson Sub-machine gun...?
