Assault Carbine

The Assault Carbine is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The sports a very compact size compared to the R91, which was the United States' primary combat rifle. The can be equipped with an extended magazine which is identical to that used on the regular Marksman Carbine.

It does low damage on more heavily armored targets and moderate damage on lightly armored human or animal targets. It has a high rate of fire and a moderate spread, so should be used at close to medium range. At higher levels the will become less useful as it lacks the punch to kill powerful enemies quickly.

While its ammunition is not as powerful as the 5.56mm round or the .308 caliber round, it is found in large quantities since it is used for the Minigun as well.

It is looks almost exactly like the real life M-4 or M-16a2 commando rifle variant.

Locations

 * It can be found in the Gun Runner's facility in New Vegas. Pick an average lock to get in and avoid detection or you will be attacked.


 * One can be found in the Generator Building at Nellis on a dead Boomer.


 * There are two located in the armory of Vault 34.


 * One can be found in a crate behind a very hard lock in the lower floor of Gomorrah


 * Lily Bowen carries one when you recruit her as a follower.


 * Super mutants in Black Mountain may carry this weapon, and it is possible to pick up about 10-20 rifles due to the large amount of mutants, making this by far the best place in the game to get an assault carbine in good condition.
