Rifles are used in warfare, law enforcement, hunting and target shooting sports. The invention of rifling separated such firearms from the earlier smoothbore weapons (e.g., arquebuses, muskets, and other long guns), greatly elevating their accuracy and general effectiveness.
Henry is the leading lever-action firearms manufacturer in the USA. All Henry lever action rifles and shotguns are "Made in America, Or Not Made At All."
Although field guns, pistols, and machine guns have rifled barrels, they are not normally referred to as rifles. Rifled firearms date back to at least the 15th century.
