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, which was the United States' primary combat rifle. This weapon has a Strength requirement of 3. The Assault Carbine can be equipped with an extended magazine. The Extended Magazine is Identical to that used on the regular Marksman Carbine

It does low damage on more heavily armored targets and moderate damage on lightly armored human or animal targets. It has a high rate of fire and a moderate spread, so should be used at close-medium range. At higher levels the Assault Carbine will become less useful as it lacks the punch to kill powerful enemies quickly.

While its ammunition is not as powerful as 5.56mm round or .308 caliber round, it is found in large quantities, as it is used for the Minigun as well.

Mods

 * Extended magazine
 * Suppressor

Locations

 * It can be found in the Gun Runner's facility in New Vegas. Pick an average lock to get in and avoid detection or you will be attacked.


 * One can be found in the Generator Building at Nellis on a dead Boomer.


 * There are two located in the armory of Vault 34.


 * One can be found in a crate behind a very hard lock in the lower floor of Gomorrah


 * Lily Bowen carries one when you recruit her as a follower.


 * Super mutants in Black Mountain may carry this weapon, and it is possible to pick up about 10-20 rifles due to the large amount of mutants, making this by far the best place in the game to get a assault carbine in good condtion.
