Greetings,

I'm making a modification of the game bf1942 thats called Trench War. Its set in the First World War and I am currently creating the Osman Empire. In this game I want to feature the genuine military termology for each weapon/specification.

I need the following words translated for that:

Rifleman or Soldier
Machine Gun/ Machine Gunner
Sniper
Officer
Pioneer or Engineer
Musketeer
Ammunition carrier (guy that carries ammo to the battlefield)
Medic or Field docter
Artillery Overseer
Scout
Skermisher

Look up Janissaries. Those were the elite infantry in the Ottoman empire. That might be a good start. Otherwise, I don't really know.

janissaries were disbanded in the 18th century so maybe no?
