There are 3 basic types of rifle in Fortnite BR.
Assault Rifle
The first is the Standard AR, with one standard model and another model for epic and legendary iterations called the SCAR. Each drop of AR drops with 18 rounds of spare medium ammo and a full magazine of 30. The basic AR is best for the classic point’n’click fighting style, and can also be used to halt builds as they come.
Burst Rifle
The second is the Burst AR, with a standard model and another model for epic and legendary iterations called the Famas. During each pull of the trigger, 3 shots are fired. Due to this, Burst ARs are not as good for destroying builds, but they are amazing if used with precision to get multiple hits or headshots.
Scoped AR
The third is the Scoped AR, with rare and epic versions, and the Thermal AR with epic and legendary versions. These shots do less damage per hit than the typical AR, but they can do great damage over distance, with none of the sniper downsides of bullet drop and damage falloff. The Thermal AR also has the added bonus.
