The Rifles is the largest killing in the British army with four regular battalions and two reserve battalions. The Regiment was founded on 1 February 2007 with the union of the killings and battalions of the relief Division, when each Division battalion became a battalion in the new Regiment (except for the first battalion composed of units of two previous regiments). Today, killings unite most of the gunmen who have served throughout history in the British army. The symbolic commander of the Rishiment is a chapel, the duchy of Cornwall, which is used in the role from 2020, until then served as Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.

History of History

The killings were established in 2007 after the union and annexation of the relief divisions, even after a series of unions and structural changes throughout the history of the units. The various battalions in a unique heritage and behind them are a long and magnificent history, each separately.
The term Rifleman is a term that referred at the beginning of the road to soldiers who were mostly exploited and not a majority of which had acquired a part such as the Muskete. Between the 18th and the mid-19th century, armies made extensive use of armed infantry forces in the Musketeers, when their power was more pronounced in the amount of fires of a row of soldiers against the enemy and less fire. Towards the end of the 18th century, gun owners began to appear in a quarant that gave more accuracy, but also required more time to load. Therefore, in order to use the new weapons, it was necessary for the construction of special units that would be a more accurate lyrical tactic in the battlefield.

The first decorated gun that became the majority of the gunman units was the homeer, it was unique to the gunman units and significantly differentiated them from the usual infantry units.

It can be said that the appearance of the scenes in the battlefield was a real revolution, disguised as more and worked more precisely and more thinking, so they could take a distance of officers and “quality” targets, thus making a huge contribution to the battlefield.

In the middle of the 19th century, the smuggling rifles and technology have made the weapons faster and faster to load, the unique location of the gunmen in the battlefield. However, the name "Robei" continues to exist until today, gunfire units in the British army were preserved as a light bankruptcy.
