I don't get this whole "not a battle rifle" thing when it comes to certain guns; even an AR.
What's a battle rifle to you then?
Just because some third world guerrillas use AK47 to me doesn't prove all that much. Most of these individuals can't read and couldn't read the booklet to take the thing apart and clean it/ don't have the technical skills to do it/ can't be bothered; so the AK is their rifle. Not to mention they are more readily available and they are cheaper than some American firearms.
To me however that doesn't mean that it's any more or less a battle rifle than some of the others. All it means is that rifle hasn't been given a chance, and the other is "battle proven" as they say on the military channel.
Really I just saw a post that said not only is a Ruger Mini not a battle rifle but neither is an AR15. How do you define what is or isn't a battle rifle?
