Assault Rifle (Fallout 4)

The assault rifle is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Background
Fed from a side-mounted magazine, this gas-operated assault rifle has anti-aircraft style sights and a water-cooled jacket that shrouds the barrel and maintains its temperature under sustained fire, pumped using water stored in the weapon's telescoping stock. It includes a charging handle on the right and a carry handle on the top, all fashioned out of durable wood. Now a common sight in the Commonwealth, this assault rifle is used by higher-ranking raiders, Gunners officers, and some super mutants.

Characteristics
The assault rifle starts off semi-automatic, but can be modded or found with an automatic receiver at the expense of a hefty damage reduction. A regular, semi-automatic, non legendary assault rifle with all of the highest level mods equipped deals around 99 damage assuming the Sole Survivor has all of the Rifleman perks. The weapon is incredibly heavy for an assault rifle, weighing 13.1 pounds (5.9 kg) unmodified with a short barrel, and when fully modified it rivals the minigun in weight.

The assault rifle has low recoil and good accuracy (even when fitted with a fully automatic receiver), both of which are excellent handling traits for sustained automatic fire, though the weapon can burn through ammo rapidly; this can be compounded by the relative scarcity of 5.56mm rounds at lower levels that can be looted from enemies without the Scrounger perk, so fire discipline is necessary. Burst firing is advised, especially for long range engagements. Unfortunately, the weapon is difficult to extensively modify without heavy investment in the Gun Nut perk, and one investment in the Science! perk for its more advanced optical sights. However, since assault rifles begin to replace combat rifles and pipe weapons as enemy armament once the player character reaches a sufficiently high level, modified examples can be found/looted as well, some of which will eventually come equipped with highest-level mods such as suppressors or recon scopes.
