The combat rifle is a weapon in Fallout 4.
Background[]
A pre-War firearm that can be commonly found in the Commonwealth. Various factions, such as Gunners and raiders, frequently carry them.
Characteristics[]
The combat rifle is capable of filling various roles depending on its configuration, such as a close-quarters automatic or a precision sniper. It is also chambered for .45 rounds, one of the most abundant forms of ammunition in the game. With higher ranks of Gun Nut, caliber conversions to the weaker .38 rounds and more powerful .308 rounds become available.

Notes[]
- Any combat rifle with a low scope or higher will be labeled as "combat sniper" along with other titles unless another name takes precedence over it.
- The full stock and long scope mods cause the combat rifle to use more AP in V.A.T.S. in order to be fired.
- The combat rifle fires pistol rounds in two of its three configurations. Only a select few weapons in the Fallout universe share this feature, like the .223 pistol from Fallout and Fallout 2 and its Fallout: New Vegas versions, That Gun and the 5.56mm pistol, which are both pistols that fire rifle rounds.
- The combat rifle makes the best use of .45 rounds, boasting the highest damage for those calibers out of all other weapons that utilize them as well.
- Unused meshes in the game's files suggest the combat rifle was at some point going to have a drum magazine modification, similar to its shotgun counterpart, the combat shotgun.
- The combat rifle shares the meshes and textures of its magazines and barrels with the hunting rifle, while its receivers and stocks are shared with the combat shotgun.
- Although it is chambered in .45 in-game, the world model for the magazine depicts it loaded with .308 rounds instead.
Bugs[]
- Overseer's Guardian.[verified] The modification menu for scopes and sights on the combat rifle does not show the "Glow Front Sight Ring" mod unless there is something other than the basic "Front Sight Ring" mod attached, but will not be craftable even though its components required are shown as "None," which is grayed out. This affects both the normal combat rifle and its variant,
- The standard magazine for the Combat Rifle can be invisible, however, while reloading the magazine can be seen. This is just a visual glitch and does not actually affect the weapon in any way.[verified]
- To fix it, just unequip and re-equip the rifle.
- Can also happen while using unique or legendary variants of the rifle.
Firing and then swimming will cause the weapon to be held like a bat and prevent firing the weapon.[verified]
