}}The '''No 4''' is a weapon featured in ''[[Battlefield 1942]]''. It is the standard issue rifle of the [[Allies (World War II)|Allies]] [[Engineer]] kit, with the exceptions of the [[United States Marine Corps]] who are issued the [[M1 Garand]] and the [[British Commandos]] who are issued the [[Shotgun (Battlefield 1942)|Shotgun]]. It has high damage, but can only guarantee a one-shot kill against a target with over 20hp (eight pips of health in the HUD) if it is a headshot - otherwise the No 4 kills in two body shots or three leg shots. The weapon is not affected by damage drop-off at range and has high accuracy, factors which bolster capabilities at distance. Recoil is significant, but is a non-issue due to the weapon's low rate of fire. The bolt must be cocked after each shot which takes around three seconds, potentially disrupting aim. This inability to quickly land follow-up shots, combined with its body-shot damage profile, means the No 4 is a particularly poor choice for close range combat. Additionally, the No 4 has a switch delay of 0.25 seconds.

The '''No4Sniper''' is a variant of the No 4, issued to the [[Sniper]] kit of the Allies. It features a usable 6X zoom scope. It has similar properties as the No 4, but with a slightly lower rate of fire and spread penalties when moving, double the bullet velocity and a larger amount of zoom. When firing scoped in, the player must unscope to work the bolt.
The '''No 4''' is a weapon featured in ''[[Battlefield 1942]]'' as the standard issue rifle for the Allied [[Engineer#Battlefield 1942|Engineer]] kit (with the exception of the [[United States Marine Corps#Battlefield 1942|USMC]] and [[British Commandos#Battlefield 1942|British Commandos]], who receive the [[M1 Garand#Battlefield 1942|M1 Garand]] and [[12g Automatic#Battlefield 1942|Shotgun]], respectively.) Its Axis equivalent is the [[Kar98k#Battlefield 1942|K98K]], which it is identical to in terms of stats.
 
   
  +
Its [[Axis Powers|Axis]] equivalent is the [[K98K]] and K98KSniper. Both weapons are identical in stats.
It is a generally reliable rifle, capable of killing in 2 body shots or a single headshot and possessing good accuracy. Recoil is not a problem because the bolt-action function prevents continuous and overwhelming fire. The No 4 primarily struggles in close quarters due to its low rate of fire; players may want to switch to the [[M1911#Battlefield 1942|Colt]] or [[Knife#Battlefield 1942|Knife]] when engaging nearby enemies.
 
   
The No 4 receives a [[Bayonet#Battlefield 1942|bayonet]] in ''[[Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome|The Road to Rome]]'' expansion. This can potentially make the rifle more reliable for point-blank engagements.
+
In ''[[Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome]]'', a [[Bayonet|bayonet]] is mounted on the non-scoped No 4, replacing the [[Knife#Battlefield 1942|combat knife]].
 
The '''No4 Sniper''' is a scoped variant of the No 4 rifle. It is issued to the [[Scout#Battlefield 1942|Scout]] kits of the Allies. It shares the same exact properties as the No 4 rifle with the exception of being more accurate while moving, having a faster bullet velocity as well as having a scope. As a downside, it has a slightly slower rate of fire than its normal counterpart. The bolt can only be worked out of scoped view; firing again will cause the player to unscope and work the bolt.

Per-shot damage is low but consistent, with only a difference of 5 damage between its maximum and minimum per-shot effect.

This article is rated as standard

The Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I Rifle Short is a variant of the British Lee-Enfield rifles. The first Lee-Enfield models were designed in 1895, the most famous SMLE MKIII was introduced in 1907, but the No. 4 variant was designed in 1939 to answer to the need of easily manufactured rifles of the carbine. They were adopted to the British, Canadian, Australian (and other Commonwealth countries) Armed Forces in 1941, where it saw mass-production. Many wartime No. 4 rifles were manufactured in Canada due to a shortage of supplies in Great Britain, and due to the damage caused to British manufacturing by the German Luftwaffe during the Blitz.

Battlefield 1942

The No 4 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1942. It is the standard issue rifle of the Allies Engineer kit, with the exceptions of the United States Marine Corps who are issued the M1 Garand and the British Commandos who are issued the Shotgun. It has high damage, but can only guarantee a one-shot kill against a target with over 20hp (eight pips of health in the HUD) if it is a headshot - otherwise the No 4 kills in two body shots or three leg shots. The weapon is not affected by damage drop-off at range and has high accuracy, factors which bolster capabilities at distance. Recoil is significant, but is a non-issue due to the weapon's low rate of fire. The bolt must be cocked after each shot which takes around three seconds, potentially disrupting aim. This inability to quickly land follow-up shots, combined with its body-shot damage profile, means the No 4 is a particularly poor choice for close range combat. Additionally, the No 4 has a switch delay of 0.25 seconds.

The No4Sniper is a variant of the No 4, issued to the Sniper kit of the Allies. It features a usable 6X zoom scope. It has similar properties as the No 4, but with a slightly lower rate of fire and spread penalties when moving, double the bullet velocity and a larger amount of zoom. When firing scoped in, the player must unscope to work the bolt.

Its Axis equivalent is the K98K and K98KSniper. Both weapons are identical in stats.

In Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome, a bayonet is mounted on the non-scoped No 4, replacing the combat knife.

Battlefield Vietnam

The No 4 Sniper is a weapon introduced in the official WWII mod for Battlefield Vietnam as the standard sniper rifle of the USMC for the Scout kit. It can kill with a single round to the head or two to the torso. It reloads one round at a time instead of inserting a clip of five rounds like in the previous game, which means it can be reloaded without the loss of any ammunition at the cost of a long reload.

Battlefield V

"The Lee Enfield rifle has a long history which goes back to before World War I. The no. 4 model had a brutal bayonet called the "pigsticker" by the British troops."

— In-game description

The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk I is a weapon featured in Battlefield V. It first appeared in the Battlefield 5 Official Reveal Trailer.

Singleplayer

In the singleplayer war story Tirailleur, the Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk I is the standard rifle of the Senegalese colonial troops of the Free French Forces, used by non-player characters in gameplay. In cutscenes the Lee-Enfield is replaced by either Kar98ks or Ross MkIIIs. It is also used by US Army Recons during the The Last Tiger.

Multiplayer

The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk I is the starting weapon of the Recon class, and is unlocked by default. Of all the bolt-action rifles in game, the weapon has the largest magazine capacity and highest fire rate, at the cost of categorically lowest muzzle velocity of 500 m/s. These characteristics make the weapon more suited for medium range engagements than its counterparts, with the rapid cycling and generous capacity being more forgiving in the event of missed shots. Per-shot damage is low but consistent, with only a difference of 5 damage between its maximum and minimum per-shot effect.

In terms of Specializations the weapon comes with Quick Aim, Custom Stock, Lightened Stock and Variable Zeroing specializations at the start. The alternative choices consist of Quick Reload, Slings and Swivels, Machined Bolt and Bayonet.

Trivia

Battlefield V

BF5 Lee-Enfield No
  • The player character uses the weapon with the middle finger speed-firing technique - commonly called "Mad minute" due to its association with the drill - where the user operates the bolt with their thumb and index finger and pulls the trigger with their middle finger. In gameplay, this technique is reflected in the No.4's faster rate of fire than other bolt-action rifles.
  • Lee-Enfield No.4 MkIs picked up from fallen allies during My Country Calling lack iron sights.
