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 insignia.

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.

Durability
The All-American can fire a total of about 1995 standard rounds, the equivalent of 84 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

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

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 or ghoul 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 companion's inventory, make sure that you search the armory thoroughly.

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.

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).
 * When dropped, it can disappear for no apparent reason (re-loading a previous save may fix this).
