👉 A rifle is a type of firearm designed for long-range combat, typically mounted on a stock or carried in a holster. It features a barrel that extends several meters, allowing for precise aiming at targets from a distance. Rifles come in various calibers and are used by military forces, law enforcement, and civilians for hunting, self-defense, and sport shooting. They operate by firing projectiles propelled by a gunpowder charge, which expands rapidly upon ignition, propelling the bullet forward.
