Battle rifles fire full power cartridges, and are capable of engagements of long distances. Examples include the M1 Garand, FN49, FN FAL, and G3. Assault rifles are designed around intermediate cartridges. They're intended to fulfill roles of battle rifles, light carbines, and submachineguns, but aren't intended so much to fill all the same niches. They're typically designed for engagements of 300 metres or less (though usually have further reaching range capabilities). Examples include the StG44/MP43, AK family of rifles, M16 and variants, FN FNC, AUG, etc.

Difference between a carbine and a assault rifle?
An assault rifle is a rifle that has more than 22'' inches of barrel and has selective firing rate, while the carbine rifle has a less 22'' inches barrel and semi automatic. ^^ Wrong.. An assault rifle is any select fire rifle that is chambered for an intermediate cartridge... Barrel length has nothing to do with it. The M16 has a 20" barrel length and is considered an assault rifle. The AK47 has a 16" barrel and is considered an assault rifle... Carbines that are select fire and chambered in an intermediate cartridge are still considered assault rifles.
