Assault Rifle

"Assault Rifles are the hallmark weapon of any conflict, and should be used with enthusiasm at all times."

- Weapon Class Description

An Assault Rifle (shortened to "AR" commonly) is the most commonly weapon used in the game. It is best used all around, due to its balanced accuracy, rate of fire, and damage combined together to form the perfect assault weapon.

Firing Modes
Most AR's have at least 2 firing modes. The automatic mode is found in all AR's, useful for Close-Quarters Battle because the gun fires continuously without the need of letting go of the trigger. Burst mode is found in most AR's; shooting three bullets each time, the recoil is far less than using automatic (even when moving), useful for picking off targets further away. Single fire mode is somewhat rare, found only in the K2 and the M14. While moving or firing way too fast, if has the same recoil of using the automatic mode. However, this mode is more useful against targets in Sniper Rifle range than burst fire, for there is more recoil on the last two shots in a burst, while single will maintain its accuracy without using up more ammo. However, not all AR's can switch into modes other than automatic; the M4A1, SG550, AK-47, G36E, AK-74U, and M4A1 CQB ,along with many others, can use only auto fire.
