A [[gun|firearm]] that uses full-power [[rifle cartridge|ammunition]] (e.g. 7.62×51mm NATO), capable of fully-automatic fire or selective fire, and uses removable magazines. They were the connecting link between semi-automatic rifles (SVT-40, Gewehr 43) and [[assault rifle]]s. 

Though battle rifles were highly supplanted in mainstream service by lighter assault rifles, many are still used in specialist roles (e.g. designated marksman) by many [[military|armed forces]] and police units.
