Assault Rifle

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

Original Timeline[]

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.

Legend Timeline[]

Tomb Raider: Legend[]

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

The A12 is the assault rifle featured in game. It does not have any ammunition pickups, and ammo carried ranges from 120 to 300 rounds, dependent on difficulty. It is well balanced, between damage, range, magazine capacity and rate of fire.

Enemies carry AR-06 based on the and Norinco Type 56, which is a variant of the AK-47.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light[]

The "Assault Rifle" based on the Colt 727, offers a decent rate of fire but has low ammo consumption, and but has low power.

The AR-06 returns from Tomb Raider Underworld. It has higher power than the standard assault rifle, it has no difference in rate of fire of ammo consumption, making it the better option once it's been unlocked.

The H&K G3A3 appears as the "High Power Assault Rifle", it offers more damage, and a higher rate of fire but consumes more ammo.
