The All-American is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
The All-American is the unique variant of the semi-automatic marksman carbine with woodland camouflage, a magazine capacity of 24, and a higher magnification scope. It also bears the distinctive 82nd "All-American" Airborne division insignia above the magazine well.
It is highly accurate, reliable, and powerful with its fast rate of fire and low Action Point cost. The scope has the same crosshairs and 3.5x magnification as the sniper rifle and its Gobi Campaign scout rifle variant.
When experiencing a malfunction with the All-American (or any other weapons which share its reload animation), the Courier will utilize the forward assist to fully seat the bolt carrier group.
Durability
The All-American can fire a total of about 1995 standard rounds, the equivalent of 84 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Bugs
When equipped, the Airborne decal on the gun is replaced by a copy of the gun's texture sheet. [verified]- When going into zoom mode with the weapon equipped, a blank terminal screen may come up (re-loading the last save will fix this). [verified]
- When dropped, it can disappear for no apparent reason (re-loading a previous save may fix this). [verified]
