Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk I

The Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I Rifle is a variant of the British Lee-Enfield rifles. The first Lee-Enfield models were designed in 1895, but the No 4 variant was designed in 1939 to answer to the need of easily manufactured rifles. They were adopted to the British, Canadian, Australian (and other allies of Great Britain) Armed Forces in 1941 where it saw mass-production.

Battlefield 1942
The No 4 Rifle is the standard issue bolt-action rifle for all Allied Forces (U.S., Great Britain, Russia and Canada). it comes in a scoped and normal versions. The scoped version is issued to the Scout kit and the normal version is issued to the Engineer kit. It is a generally reliable rifle, capable of killing in 2 body shots or a single head shot with good accuracy. Recoil is not a problem because the bolt-action function prevents continuous and overwhelming fire. The main problem with the No 4 Rifle is its low rate of fire causing a nuisance for close-quarters, hence, switching to a pistol is advised. In the The Road to Rome expansion, the Engineer kit receives a bayonet for the No 4 which can potentially make the rifle more reliabel for point-blank engagements.
