Assault rifle (Fallout)

The assault rifle is a small gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background
The AK-112 was an old military model of supposely Soviet origin that was in service during the early 21st century. Chambered for 5mm ammunition, it utilizes a 24-round magazine and is capable of firing single-shot or in bursts. This weapon was eventually considered aged and was scheduled to be replaced, just prior to the Great War.

Characteristics
The AK is a decent weapon, with mid-ranged bursts of hollow-point rounds being able to slice through even Combat Armor. The AP rounds aren't effective against anything above Metal Armor, though. With a range comparable to the Colt Rangemaster, and a very common ammo type (except in the beginning of Fallout 2), the AK is an excellent compliment to the CZ53 personal minigun and the Avenger minigun.

In Fallout 2, the AK-112 can be upgraded with an extended magazine, increasing the magazine capacity to 100 rounds.
