Cavalry armed with pistols represented a tactical innovation that allowed mounted troops to be more effective in a changing battlefield environment where firearms were becoming increasingly prominent. This adaptation enhanced the versatility and combat capabilities of cavalry units during the late 17th century. The adoption of pistols influenced cavalry tactics during this period. Cavalry units could now engage in firefights at a distance, retreat, and then return for another pass, using hit-and-run tactics to disrupt enemy formations.
