Simply put, can anyone sell me on using the assault rifle?

My concerns . . .

Normal Rounds
* Too innacurate and not damaging enough against most bandits or authority, who are either frequently armored or ducking behind cover or both.
* Not as rapidly lethal as the shotgun against mutants. Also, the accuracy really drags down your score in Mutant Bash TV. I got 35% my first time w/ the assault rifle and 90+% my second time with the shotgun.

Feltrite Rounds
* They do OK damage to bandits, but that still doesn't solve the accuracy problem. Every time I've gone up against the authority w/ feltrite rounds I've wished I had authority x2 rounds instead.
* A waste of money against mutants; shotgun shells are way cheaper and way more effective.

Well, I like the shiny blue light and sparks the feltrite rounds make
Makes it feel futuristic, even more than the Authority machinegun...

but really it's just a midle weapon, you use it when you're out of AM authority x2 rounds.

Your concerns are valid.

I only use the AR ammo (all of it) to sell off for cash when I get enough rounds in loot.

I stopped buying the AR after 1st or 2nd time through - needless to say, I played some since then.

I suppose its handy (as Vynzent stated) if yiou run out of other ammo.

But to rely on?

FUGABOUTIT.

cherers mates

AR works great for me and i don't find them inaccurate they feel powerful though i like shotguns more.

Buest fire it with small clicks on the fire button and always aim for the ehad. This is a great way to handle lower level bandit clans without having to stuff around wasting larger weapon ammo. Also good spraying down corridors for fun.

Ammo is cheap and easy to find, so it can be fun to shoot the water pipes with it and watch the water spray out. I loved that feature, so awesome spraying a whole clip into a pipe.

Feltrite rounds are great against Authority for a little bit of a challenge, as above just burst fire and aim for the head, takes maybe 15 shots all headshots. Give or take a few.

I just shoot in bursts, like I do in real life. I have no problems with this rifle accuracy wise.
