Assault Rifle

A assault rifle is a selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles were first put into mass production and accepted into widespread service during World War II. In the wasteland, assault rifles are used primarily in faction wars, as large war clans are more likely to have the ammo required to fire them full-auto.

Terminology
The definition of assault rifle has not changed much since the nuclear apocalypse; a magazine-fed, select-fire rifle that fires intermediate cartridges at a distance of at least 330 yards. Carbines and support rifles are often mistaken for assault rifles.
