View source for Engineering:List of battle rifles

{{Short description|none}}
[[Engineering:Battle rifle|Battle rifle]]s are full-length, semi-automatic or select fire rifles that are chambered for a [[Engineering:Fully powered cartridge|full-power rifle cartridge]], and have been adopted by a nation's military. The difference between a battle rifle and a [[Engineering:Designated marksman rifle|designated marksman rifle]] is often only one of terminology with modifications to the trigger and accuracy enhancements; many of the weapons below are currently still in use and have been repurposed as designated marksman rifles. For intermediate-powered rifle cartridge firearms (e.g.: 5.45x39mm, 5.56×45mm, 5.8x42mm, and [[Engineering:7.62×39mm|7.62×39mm]]) see [[Engineering:List of assault rifles|List of assault rifles]].

Below is the list of [[Engineering:Automatic rifle|automatic rifle]]s and [[Engineering:Battle rifle|battle rifle]]s.<!-- If you wish to add a battle rifle then please do so alphabetically. If you are unsure how to, then please add it to the talk page and I will do it for you. If you want to edit a mistake etc, please follow the current layout. This list is clearly incomplete and I invite you to add any battle rifle which isn't there. The small table below is to explain the acronyms in the ''Type'' column as adding the full word would distort the table. Enjoy! -->

{{Nomirror|The table is sortable for every column.}}
