The fastest firing of the Assault Rifles, with low recoil for ranged fights and a 30-round magazine. The drawback – a big one – is it only deals 20 damage per shot, lower than all the other Assault Rifles, making it a five-hit kill to the body up close.

Long Range
One of the most accurate weapons in the game. It has so little recoil that you can spray it even at long ranges, and it's also the fastest to reload of the Carbines, along with having the highest muzzle velocity. The only negative is that it deals 20 damage per bullet, the lowest of any Carbine.
