Heavy assault rifle

The heavy assault rifle is a new weapon found in Doom's 2016 reboot. Its role as a high rate of fire, conventional bullet-based weapon is shared with the chaingun, but its versatility is exposed through a number of modifications available for it. The UAC considers the weapon to be superseded by the plasma rifle, but recognizes its familiarity, accuracy, and dependability as justification for its continued widespread use by employees. It normally fires .50 FMJ round ammunition.

"Features a dependable mechanical firing mechanism, high accuracy at long range, and an abundant supply of ammunition."
