Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16

ArmTeck Modular Rifle Model 70

Assault Rifle

A Vietnam War-era masterwork. Lightweight and accurate while still packing a punch, the MR-70 was in service from 1964 to the early 2020s where it was then replaced by the MR-115. This initial model was quite unreliable, and often jammed with the wrong amunition. However this model miraculaously uses the MR-92's parts, which are not supseptible to these issues.

The MR-70 is a moderately heavy, automatic ranged weapon which fires 3-shot bursts of rounds which deal a moderate amount of damage each; a slightly shorter delay between each shot; a moderate time between bursts; slightly longer range and moderate overall accuracy.

Analysis

The assault rifle can be used to good effect in virtually any use case, whether in close-quarters, out hunting, or on the field. The only real thing that the assault rifle lacks is stopping power, as it's unable to stagger humans. Another downside is that production is quite expensive, though not as expensive as a spacer rifle. You won't see raiders use assault rifles until the midgame.

Stats

Against an unarmored human with 2000 max STA, an assault rifle can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 2 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 6 hits to incapacitate that human from STA deprivation.
