The Chinese assault rifle, formally known as the Type 93 Chinese assault rifle,[1][2] is a weapon in Fallout 3.
Background[]
The Type 93 Chinese assault rifle[3][4] was designed and manufactured by a Chinese industrial conglomerate for the People's Liberation Army during the Resource Wars, for the purpose of equipping the Chinese infiltrators and American fifth-columnists. To this end, it was chambered for the abundant 5.56mm round and utilizes a 24-round magazine. Thousands of these weapons were smuggled into the US for use by Chinese operatives and sympathizers on the East Coast, and many remain functional even two hundred years after the Great War. These rifles are also proven to be ready for manufacturing in post-War conditions.
Characteristics[]
Chinese assault rifle expanded
A second-tier, general-purpose, automatic firearm chambered for 5.56mm ammunition, the weapon is the most powerful of the generic assault rifles in base damage and DPS. With a weapon spread of 1.5, it is a somewhat inaccurate weapon. It is the third least durable 5.56mm weapon. Regardless, it remains a formidable automatic weapon for any Small Guns character for the entire game.
In the Operation: Anchorage add-on, certain weapons were re-skinned while one is in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation to make them look like actual pre-War weapons, with the Chinese assault rifle among the small group chosen for this. The new looks include brown-colored hand and foregrips, and the outer bluing is a darker black with fewer scratches than the post-War version. The stats and names are exactly the same, but the durability (as with every in-simulation item) is infinite, making the weapon (almost) impervious to damage and frequent use.
Durability[]
The Chinese assault rifle can fire a total of about 1,212 rounds, the equivalent of 51 reloads, from full condition, before breaking.
Variants[]
- Xuanlong assault rifle - a unique variant with a higher 36-round magazine and the highest damage of any automatic small gun.
- Jericho's Chinese assault rifle - a non-player variant used by Jericho.
Sim version - a variant only used while participating in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation, which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading). It also has a barely noticeable winterized color scheme on the stock and foregrip, and a much cleaner finish on the receiver and barrel.

- High damage - An additional variant with 1000 damage can also be found in Operation: Anchorage, used in the
DLC02TrenchClimberTrig02SCRIPTand cannot be obtained under normal circumstances. - Dragoon - a variant named Chinese Dragoon assault rifle can be found in the data files for Operation: Anchorage. It uses the Anchorage-specific texture for the weapon, but aside from name and appearance, it is identical to the standard Chinese assault rifle. It is likely the weapon was intended to be placed in the armory with other "wasteland" versions of weapons found in the Anchorage sim, most of which were cut from the final version of the add-on; as such, the weapon can only be accessed through the use of console commands.

Notes[]
- Despite the in-game model having a folding metal stock, the Pip-Boy icon depicts the Chinese assault rifle with a solid stock.
- Although not present as a playable weapon in Fallout: New Vegas, the Chinese assault rifle does make a brief appearance in the game. During How Little We Know, if one chooses to help Cachino take over Gomorrah and destroys the Omertas' weapons stockpile with thermite, the muzzle of a Chinese assault rifle can be seen extending from one of the piles of debris afterward.
- A similar weapon was planned for Fallout 4 but was cut before release.
- A similar weapon was meant to appear in Fallout 76, but was cut and only exists as texture files after release.
- A cosmetic pack for the handmade rifle alters some of its features to resemble the Chinese assault rifle.
Bugs[]
- In close quarters conditions, the rifle can clip through targets or level geometry. This causes all shots to miss the target or be absorbed by geometry, even when the muzzle protrudes beyond the obstruction. [verified]
- Removal from inventory, or storage in a gun cabinet such as can be found in Outcast outpost, can mysteriously and significantly degrade the condition of the rifle. Similar degradation can occur by manipulating the rifle with the grab tool.
