Automatic rifle

The automatic rifle is a weapon in Dead Money.

Characteristics
An excellent automatic weapon and the only one, in fact, using .308 caliber rounds. The combination of these two factors, coupled with a high base critical chance results in excellent Damage Per Second performance.

The trade off is that the powerful ammunition leads to plenty of sway. The spread is very high for an automatic weapon, the highest in the game, in fact, and requires choosing targets carefully and firing in short, controlled bursts. As an automatic weapon, it also loses durability rapidly and requires regular repairs. If fully repaired, it will serve for 996 rounds without breaking, just short of 50 magazines.

Fires two rounds per attack when used in V.A.T.S.
