Battle rifle
Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAT : Battle rifle
The term battle rifle can have different meanings. Usually it refers to rifles firing a "full-sized" (as opposed to "intermediate") cartridge, such as .303 British or 7.62 × 51 mm NATO, from a full-length barrel. A main battle rifle is a battle rifle that is used as a military service rifle. Battle rifles may be bolt-action, semi-automatic or fully-automatic. Modern battle rifles are capable of selective fire. Almost all battle rifles have a long barrel and fire a large caliber round.
