The Assault Rifle is a standard infantry firearm first used in Docks. It has a fast fire rate, emptying one magazine in three and a half seconds, and is pretty accurate.
In appearance, it is a grey rifle in a bullpup configuration with iron sights on the top and a carrying handle. The Assault Rifle has a zoom feature, which brings up the crosshair and has a scope feature.
This is an all-round weapon that suits any situation; even close-combat games, since its high fire rate can kill enemies very quickly.
There is no difference between primary and secondary fire. Like most high fire-rate weapons, bots in the original TimeSplitters either fire groups of bullets with a very short pause in-between, or some tougher bots fire constantly until your health is critical.
This weapon shares ammunition with the M16 and the Minigun, which appear to be armour-piercing rounds.
When "if best" is switched on, the Assault Rifle ranks as the 12th best weapon on TS1, on the same level as the Shotgun and Uzi (x2).
Trivia[]
- It looks exactly like a FAMAS G2 French assault rifle.
- Docks is the only Story mission that this gun appears in.
- The Minigun in TS2 reuses this weapon's sound effects.
- This and the Plasma AutoRifle from TS2 share some similarities, notably the rail on the top of each gun.
- Originally, the Assault Rifle was slated to make an appearance in the sequel, but was cut, and only appeared in the beta. Based on screenshots, it would have been used by the Military in Siberia, and possibly in the Training Ground as part of the Default weapon set. It was seemingly replaced by the Soviet S47, which is partially based off the AK-47, to fit in with the location of the levels based in Russia. However, some screenshots show both weapons existing at once, similarly to the M16 and Assault Rifle both appearing in the original TimeSplitters.
