Assault Rifle

Introduction

The Assault Rifle is the standard Frontiersmen rapid-firing ranged primary weapon, equipped by all Marines that materialize from the Infantry Portal. It is very accurate over close to moderate range, sporting a modest amount of ammunition and requiring only a brief moment to reload. Once weapons level upgrades are researched from the Arms Lab by the Marine Commander, the rifle will increase in damage potency; this is indicated by distinct firing sounds for each level of weapons upgrade.

Since the previous conflicts with the Kharaa, Marines have adopted a rifle bash technique to ward off Skulks in close encounters or when low on ammunition.
