Assault Rifle

Weapon

Details
Fed from a side-mounted magazine, this assault rifle has anti-aircraft style sights and interchangeable barrels and magazines. It includes a charging handle on the right fashioned out of wood. A common sight in the Wasteland, this assault rifle is used by higher-ranking raiders, and some super mutants.

Firing standard 5.56mm rounds, the gun was described as the "most well-recognized weapon in the modern U.S. Military arsenal" before the Great War. It was known to make a distinctive sound when ejecting a spent shell, leading it to be nicknamed "the Backtalker". It was displayed as part of a museum exhibit on loan from the International Ordnance Museum at the Museum of Technology in Washington D.C. alongside weapons and ammunition used by the military in past conflicts all over the globe.
