AR-10 M1970

=== ArmaLite Rifle 10; Model of 1970 Revision (Portuguese Version) ===
The AR-10, developed by ArmaLite and designed by Eugene Stoner, is a 7.62 NATO caliber automatic battle rifle. For it's time, it was a true wonder, weighing 2 pounds lighter than the AK-47 when fully loaded. Though, it was considered a widespread failure for the military market. It failed to be selected by the United States military, however, it was notably adopted by Portugal and Sudan in 1960 and 1958 respectively.
In Rapture, it was widely selected by expert sharpshooters and mag-dump competitors due to it's accuracy and automatic firing capabilities. Alongside that, it was heavily durable, with it's inside mechanics being well-sealed for the underwater and wet conditions of the city. After the discovery of ADAM and the following Rapture Civil War, it's been a favorite of Leadhead Splicers who favor more accuracy with their shots.
It's a capable combat rifle, with 20-45 rounds of 7.62 NATO being dished out at 700 RPM. It can kill anything it's aimed at, with it's accuracy being well-equipped to take down Spider Splicers, and Big Daddies with some upgrades. It can be tolerant to Dragons Breath incendiary ammunition, and special acidic ammunition as well. However, it's relatively long and unconcealable -- not suitable for stealthy movements through the Splicer-infested parts of Rapture.
