The Elliot Carbine was introduced by Colonel George Augustus Elliot in 1760 for the newly created Light Dragoon regiments.
Originally with a 36" barrel and a wooden ramrod, by the Napoleonic period the carbine was shortened to a 28" barrel and had a metal ramrod. The ramrod had a habit of falling out, so during the opening stages of the Peninsular War they started to phase the gun out.
