Generic 7.62mm NATO Assault Rifle
The early cold war saw the widespread adoption of the 7.62mm NATO cartridge (.308 Remington to civilians) by Western militaries, and export sales spread this cartridge across the globe. Assault rifles chambered for this caliber are older designs than their 5.56mm counterparts, and tend to be heavier and more rugged. Some sources apply the name “battle rifle” to these larger-caliber weapons, but this is usually a meaningless distinction. Most of these rifles are out of active service with First World militaries, but are globally ubiquitous.
