Radium rifle (Fallout 76)

The Radium rifle is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Background
This ancient combat rifle has been converted by post-war scavengers 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
Best suited for PVP combat, due to the lack of innate radiation resistance among other players, the radium rifle is a decent weapon comparable to the combat rifle in versatility, were it not for the radiation damage, which will actually heal targets immune to radiation damage.

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
