A variety of rifles use the 7.62 Nato (.308) caliber bullet (not to be confused with the Soviet 7.62 used in many of the AK series of rifles, this round has a shorter cartridge length and is not compatible with rifles chambered for the imperial .308 round), while it has fallen out of favor as a main battle rifle round in western armies and was replaced by the 5.56 Nato round it is still used in specialized applications (sniping) and is used extensivly by hunters.
