==Notes==
*The side of the suppressor mod has "CAL .50" printed on it, even though the weapon uses 5.56mm rounds.
*In reality, the term "assault rifle" refers to a rifle with the ability to shift between fire modes by a selector switch, while the in-game weapon is incapable of this and fire modes can only be changed by building separate receiver modifications.
*After reloading, the player character does not cock the gun by its charging handle.
*While idling with the gun equipped in first person view, an animation will play where the player inspects the assault rifle's magazine.
==Behind the scenes==
The assault rifle was one of the first weapons created during the development of Fallout 4, and was originally dubbed "machine gun" before the weapon crafting system was developed. The model filenames still reflect this original title.Model name:meshes/weapons/machinegun/
