Assault rifle (Fallout)

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

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.

Variants

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