Not necessarily. Again depending on the thickness a battle rifle (Large caliber select fire weapon) can eat away at it something fierce. Ammunition is a large factor into the effectiveness. Velocities, weights, distances. Lots can be factored in.

Battle rifles do tend to lose the auto-fire mode though, right? If something comes in at you in tight quarters and takes a lot to put down, being restricted to semi-auto would probably get you killed wouldn't it?
