Battle rifles are defined as semiautomatic and automatic rifles carried by one infantryman which fire full sized rifle cartridges.

M-14

I admit that I am biased, as it was my marching rifle in military college, but man this rifle was such a nicely put together package of stopping power, rate of fire, and ruggedness.

People hate on it for some reason but every serviceman who actually uses it out in the field has nothing but good things to say about it

The SMLE is so fucking aesthetic.

I love that combined front sight and bayonet lug that covers the end of the barrel. So many guns from the time have an ugly little stub of barrel sticking out from the wooden stock that ruins the lines, but the SMLE is pure and smooth.

Spent 100$ for one made in 1942 and the only problem I've had is a small crack in the original stock that I'm pretty sure was there when I bought it

is the cold war era this popular on /his/ or is it just because of the vast advancements in weapons technology at the time?

>>2664277
Its mostly for aethetics but I personally like the 7.62 delivered through the FN FAL more than any AK variant.

Plus its sexy as fuck

they're weapons that manage to stand the test of time, and are still used by many militaries today. As for having any real historical relevance, I'd say 1895 US-made Mosin Nagant (lever-action full-power rifle). It shows a mix of frontier US and Imperial Russia that I thing is really neat

>>2664296
it also officially has the shittiest stock of any rifle I've ever fired

>>2664277
The term "battle rifle" usually refers to semi and full automatic rifles chambered in full powered cartridges like 7.62 NATO. Those were predominantly used for standard issue during the Cold War period; those people are just following the subject of the thread.

>>2664296
>1895 US-made Mosin Nagant
You mean the 1895 Winchester. Wichester made some for the Russian government for WWI. The Mosin Nagant is a bolt-action rifle.

The thread says "battle rifle."

Most of them were created in the cold war.

Current service rifle with the British army
GP A2, semi auto of course, just fun to fire and cleans nicely, iron not telescopic sight as it's cheating otherwise, nice material and great grip.

Why bother with rifles when you can use swords and polearms?

>>2664861
The G43 is one of the worst rifles ever made. The thing will literally blow up in your fucking face.
