Rifles were first used in warfare on a significant scale in the American Revolutionary War, when the Ferguson rifle was issued to a special corps of riflemen raised in 1777 from light infantry companies of the British army in the colonies. By the Napoleonic wars (1803 to 1815), the rifle became more widespread, with the British Army raising special regiments of riflemen and issuing riles to the light companies of regular infantry regiments. Other armies adopted the rifle as well, either in similar specialized units or issued to chosen marksmen in regular infantry units. By the 1850s, the rifle (specifically the muzzle-loading "rifled musket") displaced the smoothbore musket as the standard infantry weapon.
