A rifle that a soldier takes into battle. It is not officially called a battle rifle, however, as that is actually the name of one of the human weapons in the popular X-box game Halo 2. That is a very awesome game, by the way.
Rifles have been used in military battles since the 1770s, but they were few in number, and only performed half as well as rifles in the mid-1800s. Battle rifles truly gained widespread use and acceptance during the Civil War, when whole brigades and army divisions were armed with famous guns known as Springfields, Enfields, Sharps', Colts, Spencers, and Henry's. The last two mentioned were the first repeating-fire weapons, and led to further technological developments in the future.

(In Halo for Xbox) A directed energy weapon used by Covenant Forces. Capable of semi-automatic or automatic fire, although continuous rapid fire overheats the weapon which in turn depletes the power core. The power output is 100-150 kV : 2-3dA, rate of fire is 420-600 RD/MIN. It is currently unknown how to replace or recharge a power core.
