(I know they aren't mounted, but hey, heavily armored dwarfes look nothing like the USS Monitor.)

In the american Civil War snipers were called skirmishers.

Skirmishers

Dwarven Marksmen.

Jager

Jäger is a German word for "hunter"

short shots
staunch shots
Battery of the Beard
Beard Ballista

Squats, as that gun looks fairly lasgun-ish.

Here is my 2-cents:

SteelSights

And a bit of a synopsis/background why this would sound really cool:

The SteelSights are the elite ranged formation of any dwarven army. Trained for years aboveground where the soot and smoke of their industrious home cannot impair their vision, the only way to achieve acceptance into the ranks of the SteelSights is to skewer an arrow or bullet into the very eyes of the enemy. Their aim legendary and their sight unmatched in the dwarven ranks, these marksmen use ammunition forged from underground smithies, honed to mortal precision and deadly in the hands of the SteelSight.

Dwarven Sharpshooters
Dwarven Snipers
Dwarven Dead Eyes
Dwarven Dead Eyed Rangers

Dammit - beat me to it! I was gonna suggest "Jaegers," too.

Having an interest in Norse myths (not too much, but enough to be interested), I like the idea of the dwarves making loads of awesome things for the Gods. And when they're not doing that, they're making awesome things to kill people with. With that in mind, I have some rather esoteric, allegorical names for sharpshooters.

Grey Ravens
Sleep Shooters
Nightmare Shooters
Tomte
Rune Shooters / Lobbers
Skull Busters
Skull Pigs

Dwarven Hawkeyed Piercers

Pepperers.

Grudge Enders.

Dwarven Hawkeyes
Dwarven Flinteyes
Dwarven Dragonwakers
Dwarven Farsights

Edit: Removing names as I'm finding some have already been suggested!
