	Encyclopedia: Assault rifle
		A rifle is a firearm that uses a spiral groove cut into the barrel to spin a projectile (usually a bullet), thus improving accuracy and range of the projectile.
		Fully automatic assault rifles can, in a pinch, replace a light machine gun, or another very common method is to have one of the riflemen (the nearest and typically fireteam partner,) pick up the gun of a fallen machinegunner and thencefore, until proper unit reorg, become a machine gunner himself.
		The concept of an assault rifle was born during the 1930s in several armies needing an infantry weapon with an intermediate-power ammunition, heavier than submachine guns (too weak and with too short of a range) and lighter than that for long rifles (uncomfortable to shoot, and difficult to control on full-automatic).

		The Plasma Rifle is not to be confused with the Brute Plasma Rifle, which is red instead of blue.
		Although experienced plasma rifle users will retreat to cover if they detect a sniper, it is easy to pick off unwary hostiles from long range in open cover, or to "kill-steal" while a teammate or enemy engages the plasma rifle user.
		While the plasma rifle may seem ineffectual to close range specialists, you must be wary of the plasma grenades that may adhere to and destroy you.

		I wasn’t trying to be corrective, and my desk dictionary does define a carbine as a “a short rifle.” But, back in the late 1800s when Winchester was turning out lever guns by the hundreds of thousands, it assigned specific configurations to the terms “carbine” and “short rifle”.
		Conversely, a short rifle was fitted with a crescent steel buttplate, a steel forearm cap instead of barrel band(s), and heavier barrels (compared to carbines) that could be either round or octagon in shape. Also, a short rifle had standard rifle-type, buckhorn sights with which elevation was adjusted by a notched slider.
		The two differences between our new Winchester Model 1892 short rifles and the originals from 100 years ago are safety features. There is a small and unobtrusive sliding safety on the rear tang of the action. Pushing it forward exposes a red dot, meaning the arm can be fired.

		The vaunted M1903 A3 Springfield rifle used by U.S. troops in WW I and to an extent in WW II, was one of the better "improved" Mausers, and yet was inferior to the original in several ways.
		It was intended that the Type 99 and 7.7mm cartridge would supplant the Type 38 and its 6.5mm cartridge, but the beginning of WW II caught the Japanese with both rifles and calibers in service, and both remained in service for the duration.
