Radium rifle

The Radium rifle is a weapon in Far Harbor.

Background
This ancient combat rifle has been converted by the Children of Atom to create a hybrid radiation and conventional weapon. Each .45 caliber round that leaves the barrel is combined with gamma radiation from the emitter mounted around it, making for a deadly weapon against human targets.

Characteristics
A solid alternative to the combat rifle, combining its versatility with the lethality of the Gamma gun. For obvious reasons, this is best used against targets susceptible to radiation. Those immune or even healed by it can make for... Frustrating targets. It's best used against trappers, very few of whom have any notable resilience.

Modifications
The Radium rifle can be easily modified into a variety of weapons, like the assault rifle or combat rifle.

Behind the scenes

 * The weapon is visually based on the Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr (People's Storm Rifle; not an assault rifle, but simply rifle of the organization) model 1-5, designed to be a cheap, mass-produced semi-automatic rifle for use by the Deutsches Volkssturm. It was a semi-automatic rifle using the 7.92×33mm Kurz round designed for Sturmgewehr 44 and that rifle's magazines. It had an effective range of 300 meters and was rather inaccurate
