==Summary==

When regarding [[human]] weapons, there are a few forms of the word "rifle" used. An "[[assault rifle]]" is a kind of firearm, that may or may not be fully-automatic (and may posses a fire selector), that fires a round between a pistol or battle rifle. A "[[battle rifle]]" fires a large full-size rifle round and is usually, but not always, semi-automatic and often ~~have~~ a long full-size barrel. A "[[sniper rifle]]" fires a multitude of ammunition, almost exclusively in semi-automatic, in the goal of achieving high levels of accuracy, and typically longer ranges than assault or battle rifles.

Regarding [[Covenant]] weapons, a "rifle" is used not to describe the technical of the weapon itself, but in the role it plays on the battlefield. For example, the [[Plasma Pistol]] and [[Plasma Rifle]], while similar, are used in two different ways. Basically, a rifle is larger than a pistol, often requiring two hands to use (except while dual-wielding), but is smaller than a heavy weapon like a [[Brute Shot]] or Fuel Rod weapon. This applies to the Plasma Rifle, [[Brute Plasma Rifle]] and [[Beam Rifle]]. The [[Covenant Carbine]] is also considered a rifle and the [[Type-25 Carbine]] (commonly called a Spiker or a "Spike Rifle") can fit into this list as well.
