carbineer
Short-rifle cavalry trooper
A carbineer is a soldier armed with a carbine, a type of short-barreled rifle that was lighter and easier to handle than a standard musket, making it particularly suited to mounted troops.
The term is sometimes spelled carabineer and historically referred to cavalry units in various European armies.
In modern usage, it occasionally appears in the names of ceremonial military regiments.
