Chinese Assault Rifle (Fallout 3)

The Type 93 Chinese assault rifle is a small guns weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The Type 93 Chinese assault rifle is a second-tier, general purpose automatic firearm. Chambered with the same 5.56mm ammo as the assault rifle, it is the most powerful of the generic assault rifles in base damage and DPS. It has the same ammo capacity, AP cost, and spread statistic as other assault rifles. However, it is the third least durable 5.56mm weapon, due to its high damage per shot (the least durable is the Perforator, the second is the unique Xuanlong rifle). Regardless, it remains a formidable automatic weapon for any small guns character for the entire game.

A fully repaired Chinese assault rifle can fire 1210 rounds, about 51 magazines, before breaking.

In the first add-on, Operation: Anchorage, certain weapons were re-skinned to make them look like actual pre-War weapons. The Chinese assault rifle is among the small group that was chosen for use in the add-on.

The new looks include brown-colored hand and fore grips, and the outer plating is a darker black with fewer scratches than the post-War version. The stats and name are exactly the same, but the durability (as with every in-simulation item) is infinite, making the weapon (almost) impervious to damage and frequent use.

Variants

 * Xuanlong assault rifle - The Xuanlong is available by completing the unmarked quest Jiggs' Loot. It has a 36 round box magazine and the highest damage of any automatic small gun.
 * Jericho's Chinese assault rifle is only obtainable via console command.
 * Sim version (Operation: Anchorage add-on) - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading).


 * High damage - An additional variant with 1000 damage can also be found in Operation: Anchorage, used in the  and cannot be obtained under normal circumstances.
 * Dragoon - A variant named Chinese Dragoon Assault Rifle can be found in the data files for Operation: Anchorage. It uses the Anchorage-specific texture for the weapon, but aside from name and appearance is identical to the standard Chinese assault rifle. It is likely the weapon was intended to be placed in the armory with other "wasteland" versions of weapons found in the Anchorage sim, most of which were cut from the final version of the add-on; as such the weapon can only be accessed through the use of console commands.

Bugs

 * In close quarters conditions, the rifle can clip targets or level geometry. This causes all shots to miss the target or be absorbed by geometry, even when the muzzle protrudes beyond the obstruction.
