>called dragon>is a horsebullshit
>>726018849Dragoon was the name of the pistols they initially used before upgrading.Same with muskets sticking to the later long guns even after rifling was invented and utilised.
>>726018987oh so that's why they're called like thatyeah it makes the final fantasy spear thing a bit of a miss theni thought they were just cavalry
>three musketeers>there's 4 of them>they use swords
>>726019070They were and are just cavalry.The cavalry was just named different dependant on their position, rank, or armaments.Names stuck even when things changed.
>>726019070final fantasy dragoon is a mistranslation of some eastern unit from what Ive heard

early modern dragoons dismounted to fight on foot, like infantrylate modern dragoons fought on horseback, like cavalrywhat's so hard to understand
>>726021075Lmao dumbass
>>726021964>early modern dragoons dismounted to fight on foot with their pistols instead of from their high mobility horses
>>726022132they carried muskets too anon
>>726022453>the cavalry unit sometimes dismountedThis does not mean it is an infantry unit, however.
>>726022571dragoons were not horsemen who were also trained and equipped for dismounted combat, they were infantrymen given horses and maybe carbines. fighting on foot was not something they did in a pinch, it was their raison d'être.
>smoothbrains ITT discovering in real time that military terms are not applied consistently across either time or place because there was no fucking international association of dragoon oversight keeping everyone in line
