Marksman Carbine

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

Characteristics
The marksman carbine is a semi-automatic, medium-power rifle with a 20-round magazine. Mounted with an enhanced-zoom scope that shares the same reticle as the anti-materiel rifle and sniper rifle, it is highly accurate and deadly at long range with a Guns skill of 100. With its good damage, an extremely high rate of fire and a good-sized magazine, it can deal a large amount of damage per second, making it versatile and useful against most enemies.

Durability
The marksman carbine can fire a total of about 1995 standard rounds, the equivalent of 100 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Behind the scenes
According to J.E. Sawyer, the marksman carbine is loosely based around "paratrooper-oriented marksman rifles" and are present due to New Vegas' proximity to Nellis AFB.
