Ok tough guy, the shooter had a Battle Rifle. Excellent article.
Peanut Gallery: The gunman had an AR-15, a rifle design used by U.S. soldiers in every conflict since Vietnam.
“You knew that it was definitely an AR,” Uvalde Police Department Sgt. Donald Page said in an interview with investigators after the school shooting. “There was no way of going in. … We had no choice but to wait and try to get something that had better coverage where we could actually stand up to him.”

“He has a battle rifle”: Police feared Uvalde gunman’s AR-15
In previously unreleased interviews, police who responded to the Robb Elementary shooting told investigators they were cowed by the shooter’s military-style rifle. This drove their decision to wait for a Border Patrol SWAT team to engage him, which took more than an hour.www.texastribune.org
Its not a "battle rifle." The AR-15 has never been used in combat....
