Assault Rifle (Fallout 3)

The Assault Rifle is useful at medium ranges where single shots can make quick work of the enemy. The rifle also excels at close range where full automatic fire can kill all but the toughest opponents. Apart from the obvious designs of the guns, the only difference between the assault rifle and the Chinese Assault Rifle is that the latter does slightly more damage. The Chinese assault rifle is also slightly harder to come by.

The R Series of combat assault rifles was used reliably following the discontinuation of the M series in the early 21st century. The R series, produced by civilian manufacturer Stent Security Solutions, was made in many models and variations. The variation most common to the DC Wasteland is the R91 full-auto urban assault rifle.

This rifle was standard issue for the National Guard during the urban pacification operations. Fortunately for our purposes, the National Guard had been fully deployed around the DC area during the time of the war. As a result, the R91 is readily available for those willing to search. although nearly two centuries of scavenging has reduced the numbers of working units, the R91 remains a favorite of Slavers and Raiders. This rifle can often be obtained from legitimate traders and arms dealers.

Like any firearm, the R91's effectiveness and accuracy can suffer without regular maintenance.
