The assault rifle is the jack-of-all trades of RimWorld's firearms. Single-target damage is respectable, with accuracy and warmup time being good overall. Range is amazing - tied for third of all non-consumable weapons and only beaten by weapons with considerably less {{DPS}}. The assault rifle can be used to good effect in virtually any use case, whether in close-quarters, out hunting, or on the field. Other weapons surpass the assault rifle in specific roles, such as the [[chain shotgun]] in maximum {{DPS}} and in close quarters, but no other weapon is as flexible and versatile. For this reason, assault rifles are a common choice for standard issue when not optimizing for a specific strategy.

The assault rifle is the jack-of-all trades of RimWorld's firearms. Single-target damage is respectable, with accuracy and warmup time being good overall. Range is amazing - it's tied with the [[minigun]] for best of the multi-shot firearms (that are not [[triple rocket launcher|consumable]]). Having high range, along with good damage and accuracy, distinguishes it from other RimWord weapons.

In terms of actual {{DPS}}, the assault rifle is consistently higher than the [[LMG]], lower than the [[heavy SMG]] until beyond short range (12 tiles), and generally outdamaged before and after {{AP}} by the lower-ranged [[charge rifle]]. All four are completely outdamaged by less flexible weapons like the [[minigun]] and [[chain shotgun]] however. The assault rifle is a moderately skill friendly-weapon when the player manually controls the pawn's range, though the charge rifle and heavy SMG tends to fill that niche better.

Either rifle is completely outdamaged by less flexible weapons like the [[minigun]] and [[chain shotgun]]. It is a moderately skill friendly-weapon, though the heavy SMG tends to fill that niche better. You may want to give weaker shooters some even cheaper weapons, like the [[machine pistol]], instead.

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 charge rifle. You also won't see raiders use assault rifles until the midgame somewhat limiting the chance to use looted rifles before the higher qualities available to colony-produced weapons take precedence.

Against an unarmored human, an assault rifle can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3 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 (~10.1 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.
