Service Rifle

The service rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A semi-automatic medium power rifle, this rifle is chambered in the common 5.56mm and has a magazine capacity of 20 rounds. The rifle is simple but it is well made, making it a very reliable weapon often used by New California Republic (NCR) troopers.

As of patch 1.3.0.452 the weapon fires at a much greater rate with increased accuracy. This makes it a much more viable weapon for low level players with its high DPS. This also means NCR troopers are far more effective in combat, with a squad able to project a much greater amount of firepower.

One extremely useful trait of the service rifle is its ability to repair high-end weapons like the light machine gun, sniper rifle, and assault carbine using the Jury Rigging perk.

The service rifle can be modified with a forged receiver to increase durability and an upgraded spring to increase rate of fire. Two other modifications that were cut from the game, a bayonet and a reflex sight, were to be available but left as unfinished models before the release.

It also has two swivels, located on the bottom of the stock and ahead of the handguard, which would be used for a sling, but no such sling is present.

The service rifle can be repaired by copies of itself or any semi/fully automatic rifle with the Jury Rigging perk.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when you go into 3rd person with the gun in your hands, your hands will be about the size as a pair of Death Claw hands.
 * Sometimes in V.A.T.S., the service rifle will disappear from the PCs hands; the animation will continue, however, which will waste ammo, and do no damage to the enemy. The gun will reappear when the VATS animation ends.  This glitch may happen outside VATS as well, when crouching, but can be fixed by simply standing up.
 * When completing the aid for Camp Guardian a loop can be created through dialog with Private Halford to obtain 1 Service rifle, 15 ap 5.56 rounds and 32 5.56 rounds by going through the top dialog functions repeatedly.
