"A custom AR-15 with two barrels, allowing for simultaneous double fire."

- The Arsenal

The AR-15 Double Barrel is an NX Rare Assault Rifle released during the 07/18/13 unscheduled game update.

Overview
The AR-15 Double Barrel is a unique assault rifle. At first glance, its statistics seem horrible. The weak 36 damage, the hefty 75 recoil, and the 81 accuracy are arguably large flaws. However, the fact that the weapon fires two rounds at once mitigates these weaknesses to an extent. The weapon's low accuracy can be disregarded because each bullet follows a different path while using hipfire or aimed fire. Consequently, the AR-15 is capable of dealing damage greater than 36 if both bullets hit the same enemy. The only real disadvantage to the weapon is its extreme recoil and spread, which exceeds even the AN-94. Because of this, sustained automatic fire with this weapon is highly inefficient, even in close quarters. At the same time, the AR-15 undesirable in long-range combat since the high recoil makes it unsuitable for even Tap Firing.

The AR-15 Double Barrel may only have a scope attachment, as the double barrels and the double magazines make it useless to have one suppressor or one extended magazine attached.
