Also known as: 来福枪, 来复枪, ライフル, 步枪, 小銃
A long firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, with a barrel that has a helical pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the barrel walls. The Rifling causes the speeding Bullet to spin, giving it more stability and penetrating power.
This tag also applies to a carbine, which is basically the shorter variant of a rifle.
