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.

Get the ripplejerk mug.The word or term used as 'Ripplin' refers to the act when two really fat, overweight people greet each other with a hug; and seeing how they're so immensely large, the fat hanging from their bodies gives way to a 'wave-like' ripple effect, usually starting from the back and ending in the front.
Speaker 1: Dude, did you see them two fatties Ripplin'?
Speaker 2: Yea, bro, they be makin' some serious waves, yo!

Get the Ripplin' mug.A weapon used in the great George Lucas Motion Pictures commonly known as Star Wars.
The weapon uses ion cartridges found in the outer mining planets in the ionic galaxies. Wookies first discovered the ions as a propellent to keep bugs off of their fur. Until the wookies learned the ion compound combusted when under high pressure. 50 wookies died from this sad but neccessary understanding of the ions now used in blaster rifles.
When word of this tragic incident reached the republic they quickily mass produced this for use in guns that would fire a concentrated beam of energy that would realign organic material effectively splitting apart the internal make up of the atoms. Or, in a shorter sense killing the person and hurting them very bad while doing so.
