The All-American is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

Compared to the standard marksman carbine, All-American does slightly more damage per shot, has a faster rate of fire and so a higher damage-per-second (DPS) value, does slightly more critical hit damage, costs slightly less AP, has slightly less spread, has a higher magazine capacity, and has the same durability, the same weight, and the same caps value. The pre-installed scope has the same crosshairs and 3.5x magnification as the sniper rifle.

In terms of appearance, the stock is given a woodland camouflage scheme and bears the distinctive 82nd "All-American" Airborne division insignia on the magazine well.

Durability[]

The All-American can fire a total of about 1,995 standard rounds, the equivalent of 84 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Location[]

The All-American can be found in Vault 34's armory; opening it requires unlocking the overseer's terminal. The weapon is located on an overturned table to the right side of the armory. If a human or ghoul companion is following when the armory is accessed, they may pick up it themselves.

Notes[]

When the All-American (or any other weapons which share its reload animation) jams, the Courier utilizes the forward assist to fully seat the bolt carrier group.

Behind the scenes[]

The All-American weapon was designed by Joshua Sawyer, choosing its name as a reference to the 82nd Airborne Division, nicknamed the "All-American" division because upon activation in 1917 it was found to contain draftees from all forty-eight then-recognized states.[Non-game 1][Non-game 2]
