Characteristics
Marksman carbine expanded
The marksman carbine is a semi-automatic, medium-power rifle with a 20-round magazine. Mounted with an enhanced-zoom scope that shares the same mil-dot reticle as the anti-materiel rifle and sniper rifle, but its barrel and magazine appear to have a stainless steel coating. It is highly accurate and deadly at long range with a Guns skill of 100. Additionally, it has a very low Action Point cost of 14, lower than most pistols as well as being the lowest out of any rifle in the game.

The marksman carbine can fire a total of about 1,995 standard rounds, the equivalent of 100 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

- Carried by legionary assassins once the player character reaches a high enough level.
One of them can be found near Securitron de-construction plant on the pipe to the east from the main entrance. Just follow the pipe until finding a spot in which the player character can jump up onto the pipe.- In the waste disposal station, near a skeleton at the end of a tunnel.

- The magnification level of the scope is 2.86x on this weapon.
- When experiencing a malfunction with the marksman carbine (or any other weapons which share its reload animation) the Courier will utilize the forward assist to fully seat the bolt carrier group.
- Despite having the same ammo type and capacity as the service rifle, the marksman carbine has a larger magazine.
Behind the scenes
According to J.E. Sawyer, the marksman carbine is loosely based around "paratrooper-oriented marksman rifles" and are present due to New Vegas' proximity to Nellis AFB.[2]
