In my squad, we often had the PDM with us. (That's Platoon Designated Marksman, not enough rifles for each squad to have one, and as I was told repeatedly, our MTOE didn't call for SDMs)
I always called his weapon a rifle, and generally just a rifle, because all of us carried carbines, so in effect, he was the only one with a real rifle.
