Is shooting that looked down upon in Germany? It might not be as common as in the US, but my understanding is that there is a decent number of people involved, similar to Switzerland.

I might be wrong on that.

Wikipedia says Germany has 1.4 million legal gun owners, out of a population of 82 million so it can't be that common.

So it's less popular than football, but probably about as popular as tennis or badminton.

Not thinking it's common, but not so rare as to be viewed as freakish.

I assume it's similar to the US where it's more common in certain segments of the population (ex-military, rural, etc).
