They start shooting when they first see him and he takes cover on the building we see behind them. He calls out that he's a Polish civilian, not a German soldier.

I'm being pedantic, but many are designed to take the lives of animals rather than people. Absurdly heavy precision .22 cal target rifles are clearly only for sport.

A few are designed to launch flares high into the air for communication. A very small number are designed to trigger avalanches under controlled conditions.

Another drawback is that they are more affected by atmospheric conditions such as rain and dust than projectile weapons are.
