What is a Battle Rifle?

All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices: weaponsandwar.tv "Battle rifle" is not a formally recognized term like "assault rifle", but it is widely used, and I think it has a lot of utility. It is intended to differentiate between intermediate-caliber and full-power military rifles, and to that end I propose these four criteria to define a "battle rifle": 1 - A military style or pattern rifle 2 - Intended primarily to be fired from the shoulder 3 - Self-loading (either semi- or fully automatic) 4 - Chambered for a full power rifle cartridge All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices: weaponsandwar.tv https://utreon.com/c/forgottenweapons/ http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons http://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com
