Service Rifle

The service rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A semi-automatic medium power rifle, the rifle is chambered in the common 5.56mm round and has a magazine capacity of 20. Its wooden furniture and simple, but effective construction make it a very reliable weapon, often used by NCR troopers.

It can be modded with a forged reciever to increase durability and an upgraded spring to increase fire rate. Two other mods, a bayonet and a reflex sight, were supposed to be available to the player in the game, but were cut before the release.

One extremely useful trait of the service rifle is its ability to repair high-end weapons like the light machine gun, sniper rifle, and assault carbine using the Jury Rigging perk.
