All-American

The All-American is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The All-American is the unique variant of the semi-automatic Marksman carbine with woodland camouflage, a magazine capacity of 24 and a higher magnification scope. It also bears the distinctive 82nd "All-American" Airborne division badge.

It is highly accurate, reliable and powerful with its fast rate of fire, making it one of the most versatile weapons in the game. This versatility includes the wide range of 5.56mm ammunition types; players should be sure to stock up on different 5.56mm variants to utilize this weapon to its full potential.

Variants

 * Marksman carbine, a rare standard variant with slightly reduced damage, rate of fire and a smaller magazine.

Location
It is located in the Vault 34 armory, on an overturned table to the right side of the armory. If you have a human companion when you access the armory, they may pick up the All-American. Also, the ghouls can kick around the weapon, and explosions can send it flying so if the gun isn't on the table or in a companions inventory, make sure that you search the armory thoroughly.

Bugs

 * When equipped, the Airborne decal on the gun is replaced by a copy of the gun's texture sheet.
 * When going into zoom mode with the weapon equipped a blank terminal screen may come up (re-loading the last save will fix this).
 * Switching ammunition types may make you unable to switch back to default 5.56mm ammunition. This can be corrected by dropping the gun and picking it back up.
 * Explosions in the armory, such as by grenade or dynamite, may cause the weapon to be 'blown through a wall' making it impossible to obtain by normal means. Likewise, explosions may cause all items to scatter, possibly causing them to land on the impossible to reach walkway above. There is no way to reach anything on the walkway.
 * You can try to use a missile launcher found in the armory to knock the weapon down from the walkway.
 * Or you can stack 5mm ammo boxes into a home-made staircase on the broken elevator
 * When dropped, it can disappear for no apparent reason (re-loading a previous save may fix this).

Behind the scenes

 * Its name is a reference to the 82nd Airborne Division, nicknamed the "All-American" division because upon activation in 1917 it was found to contain draftees from all forty-eight states.
 * The All-American was designed by J.E. Sawyer.
 * The 82nd Airborne Division may also be a reference to the original movie Ocean's 11, where a gang of WWII veterans from said division are recruited to rob five Las Vegas Casinos.
