A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, which fires a single
projectile bullet through a barrel which contains spiral grooves in its bore.
The bore is the hole through the middle of the barrel. Along with shotguns,
these are often called long guns.
Rifles come in many shapes, sizes, and types.
These days, the most common types are bolt action, lever action and
Semiautomatic, but rifles also come in slide-action pump and single-shot
varieties. The rifle gets its name from the spiral grooves in its bore, which is
called rifling. When a bullet travels through these grooves, it gains spin. This
spin helps stabilize the projectile in flight, adding to its accuracy and helping to
prevent its tumbling in flight.
Rifles are extremely versatile, useful, and varied. Most big-game hunters
prefer to use rifles, due to their greater accuracy and longer range when
compared with shotguns. Small rim fire rifles have long been used to hunt
small game, for informal target shooting known as plinking, and for
competitive target shooting as well.
Blaster rifles are usually one of the more powerful types of weapons that
one
can come across in the galaxy. This power does come with a price as
most
rifles are quite heavy or large and therefor two hands are usually
needed to
wield one. Blaster rifles are also known to be noisy and
sometimes very
inaccurate, but the damage these weapons can deal still
makes them quite
popular. In fact, BlasTech, SoroSuub, and Merr-Sonn
industries often let their
competetors manufacture certain rifles under license
since their always in high
demand.
