Rifles have been around since the middle of the 15th century. This likely places the number of different rifle designs into multiple thousands.
More broadly, rifles can be muzzleloading or breechloading with single or multiple barrels. They can also be single-shot or repeaters. Repeating rifles can be manually operated, semi-automatic (autoloading), or fully automatic. Each of those categories can be further subdivided by action type.
