Assault Rifle

Overview

 * "The most common in the world, a standard all-round rifle, boasting desirable traits."
 * ―Coco SMP Gun Dealer description.

The Assault Rifle is a ranged-firearm that appears in the main Coco SMP storyline, and the Online Mode. In all of its depictions throughout both games, and each's own missions and quests, the rifle appears to be based upon a modified AK-47 assault rifle.

Throughout the Coco SMP and Online Mode, it is available for purchase via a Gun Dealer, or rarely, they can be purchased from a Low-Tier Gun Dealer, however this is extraordinarily rare.

Coco SMP
As being aforementioned, the Assault Rifle is based upon a modified AK-47 rifle. Differences being a folding stock, and railed-handguard, both with adoring wooden furniture like the typical rifle does. Due to it's cartridge's size, it is more powerful than it's "rival", the Carbine Rifle, but boasts lesser accuracy and heavier recoil when compared to the aforementioned weapon. It proves itself as a staple weapon, and is used commonly early-in-game and throughout by many factions, such as being a prominent weapon for Afrika Tek guards. It even adores itself as a image on Night Gang's flag.

It comes equipped unmodified, with a standard 30-round magazine. Attachments can be put on the weapon, with varying effects, such as scopes, suppressors, and even an extended 60-round magazine which slows reloading time.

Online Mode
Within Online Mode, the weapon shares the exact same statistics as it's counterpart in the main storyline of the Coco SMP. However, since Online Mode serves as a large-expansion to the main-storyline of Coco SMP, it features more content, such as allowing for a Mk. 2 variation, (Assault Rifle Mk. 2), and even a classic version, which features wooden furniture, (Assault Rifle (Classic)). Another machine-gun variant is based upon the Assault Rifle, this being the Light MG, as it features an AK-esque build and resembles that of an RPK, however with various updated furniture, such as tactical rails.

Assault Rifle (Classic)
Exclusive to the Online Mode is the Classic Assault Rifle. It features wooden furniture, and lacks and rails, therefore a grip cannot be placed upon the weapon. However, the scope, flashlight, and suppressor can all still be attached as normal. The classic rifle can only be achieved after reaching reputation level one by completing gun-running and convoy missions for any gun dealer. After this, it can be purchased for $2,750. However, the statistics of the weapon, such as damage and speed, are directly shared from the standard assault rifle.

Light MG
The Light MG is a cut-weapon, originally going to be featured in the main storyline of the Coco SMP, and later it was planned to be re-added into the Online Mode, but was cut for unknown reasons. The model is based upon the Assault Rifle, but features many modifications such as a longer barrel.

Coco SMP

 * The Assault Rifle, alongside the Pistol are the most commonly seen firearms within the main-storyline.
 * Some attachments from Online Mode were originally going to be accessible in the main-storyline, such as the 100-round drum magazine.
 * Mounting tactical rails to a wooden-finished handguard is much harder than rails already existing/being built into more modern, polymer furniture, so it is unknown why the firearm has a wooden-finish, despite possibly aesthetic purposes to resemble a classic AK-47 more.
 * However, the Assault Rifle Mk. 2 features customizable, polymer furniture with built-in tactical rails.
 * Expanding on this, the Assault Rifle previously came equipped with the "Green" finishing, which converts the wooden handguards to more modern, polymer ones.
