It's ok with me. Parachutes are fine too, right?

I've heard of the Mauser/Gewehr 71 and the M1878 Kropatschek (which apparently is occasionally called "Gewehr," but looks nothing like your rifle), as well as the Gewehr 1888 (which looks pretty close to your pic), but I can't find anything on a Gewehr 1878.
Certainly. According to The Complete Encyclopedia of Rifles and Carbines by A.E. Hartink,
the Gewehr 78 was modeled off the demand for an improved 1871 standard rifle. While the 78 was produced in the thousands, the rifle itself was not well received by the German military, so it was traded with overseas nations for resources. The primary users resided in the Middle East, and in some parts of Asia it was a common bolt-action rifle (with limited use in South America). Persia and Turkey eventually swapped it for the G98 Mauser, though in all other areas it remained in use by soldiers. Eventually, it was disfavored entirely when the First World War came, unlocking newer, better, more standard weapons for the time that could be used.

And yeah, as far as airships are concerned what structures are we talking about here? Literal ships attached to the bottoms of bags of hydrogen/helium or more zeppelin-like cabin structures attached to the gasbag?
Here's just a few random images I found of steampunk airships.

They're all pretty cool, especially the interior painting and the second from last concept art piece.
And you've got to see this WIP model.

Very original idea for an RP, Fang. Perhaps later we can do a historical World War I RP revolving around aviation (there's plenty of resources for us to use on the subject and plenty of interesting things to center it around; not to mention it's a well-documented, important, innovative era in history)? I've seen World War II RPs before, but never a genuine World War I one.

Allegiance: Neutral Trader
Relevant Skills: Smuggling, Explosives, Bribery, Persuasion
Weapon(s) of Choice: Hand-blown glass fragmentation grenades, Wheel lock hand mortar, possesses an early prototype of the Maxim Machinegun (patented 1883)
Short Bio: Khelgar was born into a life of privilege. The son of an Athenian diplomat, he spent a good portion of his early life traveling between the various citystates that comprise the Parthenese Confederation. As a result of these boyhood travels and his family's prominence in society, he developed a broad network of powerful friends spanning the globe. While he had every intention of following in his father's footsteps and becoming a diplomat, he soon came to realize that he could generate a fortune through facilitating trade between his various contacts in the wold. By his fortieth birthday, Khelgar had solidified a vast trade empire and had amassed fortune and power that rivaled even that of the various families of Parthenese royalty. Sensing this, the only son of Emperor Constantine Valtreck and heir to the crown, Lord Dentene Valtreck, launched a covert war against Khelgar's operations without his father's permission. Seeing the potential for profit in the untapped markets of the outer colonies and fearing for his own safety within Parthenese lands, Khelgar has arrived in Dehui on a small 1A Class Armored Freighter with a crew of his most trusted companions and a hull loaded with cutting edge weaponry, ammunition, and luxury housewares.
