This is a compromise between a slow-firing rifle and a long-ranged machine-gun. The Assault Rifle can keep enemies in check at a range most weapons can't fire at, while still maintaining just enough rate of fire to threaten both targets in cover and those closing the distance. A very well-balanced, highly recommended weapon at both the early and later stages of the game.

Unfortunately, its relatively low shot power is a very real drawback, so you may want to upgrade your colonists to the [[Heavy SMG|Heavy SMG]] or [[Charge Rifle|Charge Rifle]] when possible, especially if facing against [[Raider|raiders]] using [http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Armor#Personal_Shield personal shields], or heavily-armored [[Mechanoid|mechanoids]] that can soak up enormous punishment. If you're however looking for an accurate weapon, this weapon generally dominates both the Charge Rifle by a fair margin and a more tangible accuracy boost over the Heavy SMG.

−
The Assault Rifle is based off of the well-known American [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle M16] assault rifle in real life.
+
The assault rifle is somewhat middle-of-the-road in many aspects, with the exception of a decent range - the longest range out of all multi-shot firearms (barring the single-use [[triple rocket launcher]]), but not as long as the [[bolt-action rifle]]'s. Unlike more specialized weapons such as the [[LMG]] and bolt-action rifle, the assault rifle is more of a jack-of-all trades; master of none. Interestingly, as a result, the assault rifle's biggest strength which in turn sets it apart from other weapons really is just its versatility. Single-target damage output is respectable: consistently higher than the LMG's, though lower than the [[heavy SMG]]'s until beyond short distance.
  
 +
Given its respectable rate-of-fire and somewhat consistent accuracy profile, the assault rifle is a somewhat skill-friendly weapon, though it's advisable to use cheaper weapons for inexperienced shooters such as the [[machine pistol]].
 +
 +
The only real thing that the assault rifle lacks is stopping power, only being high enough to stagger smaller creatures such as [[tortoise]]s and [[boomrat]]s. Production is also quite expensive, and you won't see raiders use assault rifles until the midgame.
 +
 +
The assault rifle can be used to effect in virtually any use case, whether in close-quarters or on the field - though slightly weaker as a support weapon due to its low stopping power. Hunting is also a viable option with the assault rifle due to its moderate per-shot damage and decent range. This makes it possibly be the best all-round ranged weapon of the mid-late game.
 +
 +
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 (~9.3 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.
 +
 +
Overall, the assault rifle is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 17, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

The assault rifle is a moderately heavy, multi-shot firearm in RimWorld which fires 3-shot bursts of rounds which deal a moderate amount of damage each; a slightly shorter delay between each shot; a moderate time between bursts; slightly longer range and moderate overall accuracy.

Acquisition

Assault rifles can be crafted with skill level 6 at a machining table once the precision rifling research has been completed; with 60 steel, 7 components and 40,000 ticks (11.11 mins) of work. Assault rifles can also be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlander settlements, or from raider drops:

Raider Kind Chance Average Quality Health
Mercenary Gunner 9.17% Normal 70-320%
Elite Mercenary 53.37% Normal 100%
Ancient Soldier 10.81% Normal 100%

Unlike more specialized weapons such as the LMG and bolt-action rifle, the assault rifle is more of a jack-of-all trades; master of none. Interestingly, as a result, the assault rifle's biggest strength which in turn sets it apart from other weapons really is just its versatility. Single-target damage output is respectable: consistently higher than the LMG's, though lower than the heavy SMG's until beyond short distance.

Given its respectable rate-of-fire and somewhat consistent accuracy profile, the assault rifle is a somewhat skill-friendly weapon, though it's advisable to use cheaper weapons for inexperienced shooters such as the machine pistol.

The only real thing that the assault rifle lacks is stopping power, only being high enough to stagger smaller creatures such as tortoises and boomrats. Production is also quite expensive, and you won't see raiders use assault rifles until the midgame.
