Rifle

Overview
The Rifle is a fairly fast-firing automatic weapon that exchanges firing speed and ammo capacity for raw power. Each of its 20 bullets deals about 3-4 bars of a players HP in damage, though the bullets are slower in comparison to other guns' and are significantly affected by gravity.

Player's opinion: Pros and Cons
+ Pros


 * Good ballistic trajectory, fired ammunition lose attitude/affected by gravity lesser than it's equal Russian counterpart, the AK-47. Flat trajectory also increase it's range (although it didn't do much on comparison).
 * Bullets have decent velocity, enough for most fights at medium and further range away.
 * High damage per shot with acceptable fire rate and come with a 20 mag size, compare to the RoF. Great weapon for beginners.
 * You could poke out of a bunker with one of these like the AK-47 and can still firing without yourself being exposed.
 * Bullet-based projectile: hardest to deflect in the game.

- Cons


 * Even if the dispersion penalties aren't shown directly, it'll still increase with a noticeable rate while you're moving and especially firing while you're prone moving.
 * Lowest rate of fire compare to other auto bullet-firing weapons.
 * Lower-than-average reload time.

With the Rifle

 * The rifle has fairly high range, so you can quickly shoot down players with lower range weapons such as Link Guns or M79s.
 * If you're defending a certain point, you can use the rifle's absurdly high damage to quickly mow through ambush squads.
 * Beware of the Rifle's small ammo capacity! Bullets can run out quickly, so every shot will count. After a fight, the Rifle should be reloaded immediately so as to prepare for any other opponents.
 * Account for a Rifle's sag. Though its bullets can travel long distances, they will be moderately affected by gravity, which requires its user to raise their aim in proportion to the distance away from the enemy.

Against the Rifle

 * Try to attack from a higher point, as the Rifle user will then have to fight you while keeping account of their bullets' sag - aerial ambushes could potentially lower their accuracy or just make them miss you completely.
 * Take advantage of the opponent's slower firing rate, and out-gun the Rifle user with the Minigun, Lasergun, or SMG - all weapons with faster firing speeds.
 * Though the AK-47 is similar to the Rifle, the AK-47 has a higher firing speed which can possibly give it an edge over the Rifle user.
 * Also, remember that the Rifle has a slower reload time than most guns. Try making the opponent waste all their bullets, then kill them while they're reloading.

Trivia

 * It appears the Rifle is based on the M16A1 model, used by the United States Military during the Vietnam War.
 * Rifle bullets used to be around twice as large, but its bullet size was later nerfed.
 * In the upcoming training mode the Rifle is considered an "Assault" weapon.
