I do agree that Rifle mean Rifle. However, Gun not necessary to be HUGE….

In the British Army Infantry, platoons have Gun Group which is GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun) who will be a 2 men team.  It also calls Gun as well but not really HUGE! (Just a little bigger then a rifle)

I think there is not necessary to make this as a lesson. The way how British Army calls Rifle or Gun have been carry out for many years. There is not necessary to change it in the CGF at all.

If people in the army said, ' Get me a gun on grip ref.451485......' that will normally mean 105mm light gun from the RA, wouldn't it?

Gun also mean small arms....as I said GPMG.....General Purpose Machine Gun, not only 105......

"Gun Group, 3 o'clock...FIRE!" it would not be 105 but would be GPMG fire command.
