Assault Rifle (Fallout 3)

The R91 assault rifle is a two-handed small gun in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The R-91 is a general-purpose automatic firearm, effective from short to medium range. However, the high spread and low damage per shot greatly reduce its effectiveness against targets at great range, or hard targets like giant radscorpions. Nevertheless, it remains a lightweight, hard-hitting weapon for low to midlevel Small Guns users. Condition degrades at a moderate rate. Poor-condition assault rifles are sold by many vendors across the Wasteland, and are found in raider-occupied camps, buildings, and Metro tunnels.

The basic assault rifle differs from the Chinese assault rifle: the latter does more damage (88 DPS compared to the R91 assault rifle's 64 DPS), but is also scarce and less durable. Spread and magazine capacity are identical.

Assault Rifle at 100% condition can fire off 1247 rounds, about 52 magazines, before breaking. Assault Rifle at 75% condition can fire off 935 rounds, about 39 magazines, before breaking (needs to be tested). Assault Rifle at 50% condition can fire off 623 rounds, about 26 magazines, before breaking (needs to be tested). Assault Rifle at 25% condition can fire off 311 rounds, about 13 magazines, before breaking (needs to be tested).

Variants

 * Infiltrator (The Pitt add-on) - A scoped, silenced and stockless version of the R-91 assault rifle, it functions similarly to the silenced 10mm pistol in that, while not as loud, it deals less damage than its roaring cousin.
 * Perforator (The Pitt add-on) - A unique version of the Infiltrator, it has the slowest rate of fire of any assault weapon.
 * Sim version (Operation: Anchorage add-on) - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading). It features a cleaner, less-battered texture with fresh wooden and darker metal areas than it's wasteland counterpart.


 * Wanda - A unique R-91 assault rifle that was cut from the final game.
 * Alloy Steel Assault Rifle (Operation: Anchorage add-on) - A variant named Alloy Steel Assault Rifle can be found in the data files for Operation: Anchorage. It uses the Anchorage-specific texture for the weapon, but aside from name and appearance is identical to the standard R-e91 assault rifle. It is likely the weapon was intended to be placed in the armory with other "wasteland" versions of weapons found in the Anchorage sim, most of which were cut from the final version of the DLC; as such the weapon can only be accessed through the use of console commands.

Locations

 * There are some locations in which 4-7 assault rifles can be found, all in (very) bad condition but can be used to repair to full if you have 100 to repair skill:
 * The National Guard Armory.
 * The National Guard Training Wing.
 * The Fort Constantine bomb storage inside a very hard locked door.
 * The assault rifle is the weapon of choice for super mutant brute spawns.
 * Raiders carry them very often.
 * There is also a truck and barricade with some ammo as well as a 10mm pistol in addition to the R91 to the slight northwest of Fairfax. It is guarded by a Mr. Gutsy. The rifle is in poor condition when found.
 * One can be found beside a dead Wasteland Settler in the Mines below Springvale School, near the left end of the Tunnels along with ammunition.
 * You can buy 1-2 assault rifles from Flak and Shrapnel's shop in Rivet city.
 * There is 1 assault rifle at level 6 (confirmed) in Hamilton's hideaway with Three Dog's weapon cache key.
 * They can sometimes be bought from Chief Gustavo in Tenpenny Tower.

Bugs

 * The assault rifle can clip through targets or level geometry in V.A.T.S. This results in all shots missing or being absorbed by geometry, even when the muzzle protrudes past the obstruction. Against point-blank targets in V.A.T.S., the rifle sometimes inflicts minimal damage.
