==Disadvantages==
The main disadvantage of the assaut rifle is that is grossly innaccurate when not fired in short bursts.  The assault rifle performs poorly against shields. Later in the game, it is almost completely overshadowed by the [[shotgun]]; though in [[multiplayer]] this is less apparent, as the amount of ammo available for the shotgun is much less than for the assault rifle. In comparison to real world assault rifles it can be more related to an oversized [[SMG]] as it is seriously underpowered.
