Battle Rifle

A battle rifle is a rifle capable of automatic fire with a full power rifle cartridge (like the 7.62×51mm SDC) from a detachable box magazine. Battle rifles fall in between Assault rifles and fully fledged Machine Guns in terms of power, usually sacrificing control and close-quarter effectiveness for stopping power and range. Because of their effectiveness at range, battle rifles are sometimes repurposed as Designated Marksman Rifles in modern militaries.
