This video defines a 'battle rifle' by four criteria: military pattern, shoulder-fired, self-loading, and chambered for a full-power cartridge. It distinguishes battle rifles from assault rifles (intermediate cartridges) and support weapons (like LMGs). Examples like the FN FAL, M1 Garand, and the upcoming SIG XM7 illustrate these characteristics, highlighting the return to full-power cartridges in modern military design.
