[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1499387, member: 1132"] I don't know whether it's Jane's or Small Arms Review or some other such authority, but an assault rifle is a light weight, select fire (safe/semi/burst or full) rifle or carbine firing a medium power cartridge. A battle rifle would be a one that may be either semi-auto only or select fire, that fires a full power rifle cartridge, and usually has a rifle length barrel. Most "battle rifles" are chambered in .30 cal or larger and have a max effective range of 600 meters or more. They're usually a couple of pounds heavier than an equivalent assault rifle. That's the tradeoff for the greater range, more weight to hump and usually a smaller amount of ammo per marksman. [/QUOTE]
