Assault Rifle

Assault Rifles are a recurring weapon type in the Tomb Raider series.

Tomb Raider II
The M-16, along with the Grenade Launcher, is the most powerful weapon in Tomb Raider II. It has great firepower and firing rate, and can rapidly kill any enemy. The only drawback is that Lara has to do a battle stance to fire it, so she can't shoot goons with it if she is running or jumping, although she can fire the M-16 if she is walking. There are plentiful of ammo, so it shouldn't be a problem, because most of the time the player will rely on the Uzis or the Grenade Launcher. Firepower: 8/10. Firing Rate: Fast, but not as fast as the Uzis.

Tomb Raider Legend
The RC650, can be found in Tomb Raider Legend on many enemies. The rifle has a clip size of 30 rounds, with another 4 spare clips - a maximum total of 150 rounds of ammo for player to carry, and ammo can be picked up frequently.
