Xuanlong Assault Rifle

The Xuanlong assault rifle is a unique Chinese assault rifle.

Characteristics
The Xuanlong assault rifle is a top-tier, general purpose automatic firearm. Chambered for the same 5.56mm round as other assault rifles, it is the most powerful weapon in this class. Xuanlong has the same AP cost, spread, and critical multiplier as all other assault rifles. It also has the same low durability of the Chinese assault rifle, being the second most fragile assault rifle in the game, just ahead of the Perforator.

Although spare parts for this weapon are more scarce for lower level characters, higher level players can find spare Chinese assault rifles more often. The Xuanlong has the highest base damage of any automatic conventional firearm, as well as the highest non-critical damage per second of all small guns. It also benefits from a modified 36-round magazine, 12 rounds higher than all other assault rifles.

Durability
The Xuanlong assault rifle can fire a total of about 1111 rounds, the equivalent of 31 reloads, from full condition before breaking, roughly 100 fewer rounds than a regular Chinese assault rifle.
