Battle rifle (GRA)

The battle rifle is a weapon .
==Background==
A gas-operated, semi-automatic, clip-fed rifle chambered for .308 rounds. In terms of operation, it is a relic of 20th century engineering, utilizing an "en bloc" clip system that allows ammunition to be inserted from above, clip included, into the fixed internal magazine. When all eight rounds are expended, the clip is ejected with a very distinct metallic "ping." Despite the archaic loading method, the combination of powerful rounds and semi-automatic fire makes it a viable choice for a post-nuclear combatant.Weapon appearance and functionality is modeled off the M1 Garand.
==Characteristics==
Compared to This Machine, the battle rifle does less damage per shot, has a slower rate of fire and so a lower damage-per-second (DPS) value, does less critical hit damage, has a higher AP cost, has slightly higher spread, has significantly lower durability, has the same weight, and has a much lower caps value.
===Durability===
The battle rifle can fire approximately 1,495 standard rounds, the equivalent of 187 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* This Machine - a unique variant obtained by completing Dealing with Contreras by helping either Sgt. Contreras or Lt. Boyd.
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* 188 Trading Post - Sold by Alexander and the arms merchant.
* Gun Runners - Sold by Vendortron, in 98% condition.

==Notes==
* "Battle rifles" were originally mentioned in the Camp McCarran weapons manifest, but there was no such weapon to be found.
