The BSA-Howell Automatic Rifle is an automatic conversion for the Lee-Enfield rifle. The weapon was reliable but unergonomic for the user as the force of the recoiling bolt interfered with handling.[1]

Trivia
- The Howell Automatic is one of only three weapons not used by the Support class that can have AA Sights equipped in lieu of the standard iron sights, the other being the Fedorov-Degtyarev (also for the Medic class) and the Assault's SMG 08/18.
- The weapon was originally named 'BSA Howell', but its name was changed in a pre-release update to the Community Test Environment.
- The factory variant is the only iron-sighted self-loading rifle available to the Medic that has a bipod.
- Originally, Howell Automatic Factory has 63 reserve rounds and 105 reserve rounds for Sniper. This was fixed in Easter 2018 Update[2]
