I like he term "battle rifle" because it just sounds cool, like it has a noble purpose, and I get to own one, whereas most everything else with "battle" in front of it is normally ultra cool but quite quite a task to own, like a battle tank or a battle ship!
However this is only what they were originally designed as, thay have been adapted for sporting purposes now.
Much like radar and sonar were originally developed for battle, we don't get upset that they have been adapted for other uses now too do we?
