Assault rifle

These weapons are like a mix between submachine guns and rifles. They are larger and heavier than either type of weapon, making them bulky to carry, but also more accurate than submachine guns over longer ranges.

Seldom available in many populated areas, they are heavily regulated and usually only brandished by military organizations. They are marginally more acceptable than submachine guns (since they are less concealable), but they cause the same types of problems. Their ammunition is usually expensive and harder to get than normal rifle ammo.

Laser assault rifles

Examples include the NKTR-500 Laser Assault Rifle.
