Assault Carbine

The assault carbine is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The assault carbine sports a very compact size compared to the R91 assault rifle, which was the United States primary combat rifle before the Great War. The assault carbine can be equipped with an extended magazine which is identical to that used on the regular marksman carbine, except that it has a black rather than aluminum finish. It has a high automatic rate of fire and a moderate spread, which is best employed at close to medium range combat. Furthermore, in V.A.T.S mode, the weapon will shoot a 5 round burst for a cost of 20 action points.

While it uses 5mm rounds, which are not as powerful as 5.56mm rounds or .308 rounds, 5mm rounds now have an armor piercing effect of -10 DT, while 5mm AP rounds have a -25 DT effect, making the Assault Carbine highly effective against lightly armored or medium armored targets (as of 1.3.0.452 patch). These rounds are also found in larger quantities due to them being used for the minigun as well.

A fully repaired Assault carbine can fire 3750 standard rounds, or roughly 124 magazines, before breaking.

The assault carbine can be repaired with any two-handed automatic rifle with the Jury Rigging perk.
