Main Battle Rifle

A Battle Rifle or Main Battle Rifle is a full-size select fire rifle designed for military use that fires a high-power rifle cartridge. ‘High power’, in this instance, refers to a combination of velocity and bullet weight; these cartridges commonly employ bullet weights of at least 147 grains and velocities in excess of 2,600 feet per second. The term battle rifle is usually given to post-World War II selective-fire infantry service rifle.
