List of battle rifles

Battle rifles are full-powered rifles, full length, automatic or semi-automatic rifles that have been adopted by a nation's military. The difference between a battle rifle and a 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, re-designated as DMRs. For intermediate calibers firearms (e.g.: 7.62×39mm, 5.56×45mm) see List of assault rifles.
