This group collects the Small Arms And Sidearms subcategory's shoulder-fired, long-barreled small arms: rifles and carbines of every action type and era, from flintlock and bolt-action service rifles through modern select-fire assault rifles and purpose-built sniper and anti-materiel rifles. With 219 attested members this group is itself split into four subtype groups (assault rifles, semi-automatic and battle rifles, sniper and designated marksman rifles, and bolt-action and historic rifles) rather than listing every rifle directly, so a reader reaches any individual rifle through its own narrower type instead of one very long flat list. The group carries no direct members of its own; every rifle or carbine in this subcategory belongs to exactly one of its four child groups.
