Assault Rifles can refer to both the upgradeable skill and the weapon.
Description 
Edit
Weapon Edit
The assault rifle is the ideal weapon for long-range precision. Firing 3-round bursts and delivering substantial damage, the rifle's primary drawback is its loss of accuracy when fired on the move or from the hip.
Skills Edit
Improved Assault Rifle skill raises damage and accuracy. Later levels allow you to line up critical hits faster and use assisted aiming for brief periods of time.
Skill Edit
Assault Rifles is an upgradeable skill in the game Alpha Protocol. This skill costs 5 Advancement Points per rank.
| Rank | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Assault Rifle Proficiency (Basic) | Accuracy: +2
Recoil Control: +2 |
| 2 | Improved Rifle Critical Hit (Basic) | The Assault Rifle can be steadied for a deadly Critical Hit attack. To ready a Critical Hit, remain stationary - a set of crosshairs will appear in the reticule indicating the lining up of a Critical Hit. Once the Crosshairs are in the dead center of the reticule, the next burst fired will have a perfect grouping down the reticule.
Moving or releasing your aim will ruin the lining up of the Critical Hit. This ability reduces the time needed to line up a Critical Hit. Time to Aim Critical Hits: 3 seconds (Default is 4 seconds) |
| 3 | Focused Aim (Basic) | Provides a brief period of lock-on capabilities. When aiming the crosshairs will automatically track to the enemy nearest the center of your aim. The ability can only be used when an assault rifle is equipped.

Weapon Edit
An example of some Assault Rifles that appear in Alpha Protocol
Assault Rifles are deadly long range weapons but are ineffective when firing from the hip. Aiming down the sights can make your shots as accurate as a pistol's. The weapons resemble a HK G36C, a FN Herstal SCAR, an advanced AK variant and a Bushmaster ACR. Assault Rifles are a type of weaponry available in Alpha Protocol.
