Assault Rifle

Description
The Assault Rifle is a pickup weapon that feeds from the pink ammo pool. It is a military-style rifle that feeds from a yellow magazine and sports an attachment rail along its top that holds a holographic sight.

Mechanics
The assault rifle has a moderate rate of fire, firing a stream of single bullets with a fair degree of accuracy. It feeds from a 30-round magazine and includes a round counter on the top to indicate how many rounds are left in the current magazine. Like most magazine-fed weapons, if you eject a half-empty magazine, you will lose whatever rounds were present in that magazine.

The assault rifle comes mounted with a dot-and-circle holographic sight that makes aiming at distant targets earlier, however this site is subject to parallax, so it's important to center the sight inside the circular housing to achieve maximum accuracy. Due to its low rate of fire and high capacity, the assault rifle can sustain fire for longer than any other weapon.

Tactics
The assault rifle is a good middle-of-the-road weapon. While its low damage output prevents it from killing stronger targets before they can return fire, its ability to lay down a steady stream of fire for an extended period of time and its good mid-range accuracy make it worthwhile to keep with you once you find it.
