General Information

Spearheading the front lines of the X-COM vanguard at the start of the invasion is the X-COM regulation issue rifle - the best earth supposedly has to offer - a rifle combining assault and sniper capabilities.

Unfortunately it is also built by the lowest bidder.

It offers a miniscule improvement over the standard X-Com pistol in terms of damage, with a minor increase in clip size. All that and a little more on top of a heftier bill. Being slightly more complex than the pistol, it is also slower to fire and slightly heavier on top of requiring both hands to properly operate.

Luckily, what it does offer over the pistol is a superb semi automatic three round burst mode, making it excellent for close range combat. It also has a built in scope to allow highly accurate aimed shots. The rifle takes quite a long time to aim, but it allows the user to achieve shots with accuracies that are equal to the alien Heavy Plasma and Small Launcher. This is regrettably let down by the rifle's low stopping power and speed.

The rifle makes an excellent compliment to the regulation pistol - and suffers most of the same limitations. The aliens that the rifle will continue to remain effective against throughout the war are Sectoids, Snakemen and Floaters.
