Handmade rifle (Nuka-World)

The handmade rifle is a weapon that is featured in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Characteristics
The handmade rifle is a gas-operated, selective fire assault rifle based on a pre-war design. Fed by a 30 round curved box magazine, the gun is chambered for the 7.62 round, they are abundant among the Nuka-World raider groups. The weapon features an adjustable rear sight and a partially hooded front sight.

The Disciples use a blackened color scheme for their rifles, the Operators have near-mint condition rifles, and the Pack uses brightly colored paint on their rifles. The weapon itself is somewhat heavy, weighing about 12.8 pounds with only the basic modifications.

Unlike other ballistic rifles in the game, this rifle also requires investment into perks other than Gun Nut and Science! to modify.
