Dumb question, what does EBR stand for?

[Greybeard7]

I know what MBR means, but what does the "E" stand for in EBR?

PS The only dumb question is the one you do not ask.

Thanks, I feel like a dummy.

Don't feel like a dummy. A dummy would be the person who didn't ask the question in the first place. What, do you expect to know every single acronym without having heard it first?

Enhanced Battle Rifle

EBR commonly means "Enhanced Battle Rifle", but I've always used in terms of "Evil Black Rifle" because it's more fitting and gives me a good laugh

Mike:
Thanks. With so many knowledgable people here I thought it was kind of a dumb question. I have been trying to figure it out, based on MBR for a few days and finally gave up and asked. I kept trying to figure, efficient, emergency, etc and couldn't come up with anything.

HMH and Crosswire:

Thanks for the additional info, and now I feel better about being confused.

I had to ask what BTT meant in the sales threads early on. I learned what an "EBR" was here at THR as well. H***, I just thought they were ARs. Silly me.

Some folks call it beer belly others call it. EBR... Extended Beer Reserve.

Don't feel dumb, I don't know what MBR means.

 

[Greybeard7]

MBR = Main Battle Rifle. Often meant to mean major (.30 caliber) military rifles.

Yeh, don't worry about it. I'm not an acronym guy myself.

Didn't what "EBR" meant myself until a couple months back.
