IMI Galil

IMI Galil
Assault Rifle ★★ Enhancement fodder

Actually has more DPS than G3. Still not great.

FN Herstal F2000

FN Herstal F2000
Assault Rifle ★★ If you need to use a 2* AR, what the are you doing?

The famed Tactical Tuna. Will do as well as OTs-12 if you're extremely hard up on resources and need another AR immediately for whatever reason. You won't likely need it since you get the AR team early but if you absolutely must have something or it must be 2 star...

FN Herstal FNC

FN Herstal FNC
Assault Rifle ★★★ Powercrept but you get her for free

Choco tabemase? You get her for free and she performs OK. Has a long history of suffering in the game and may suffer from PTSD. Damage bonuses are nice, and she's just strong enough to take down a Jupiter cannon by herself, provided you have some cannon fodder between her and the Jupiter (which is mostly why she has PTSD).

She used to perform really well, and she does perform OK for cost to raise, but a 5-star and 3-star AR cost the same to actually use, and the newer ARs are much, much shinier. She's still OK but don't get too attached, you'll have better soon enough. Maybe she'll get a mod someday.

Haenel Sturmgewehr 44

Haenel Sturmgewehr 44
Assault Rifle ★★★ Core fodder

AKA StG44

Before: The source of the name Assault Rifle

Now: A source of cores

Mod isn't worth it either, but has its own entry.

Spikes Tactical AR-15

Spikes Tactical AR-15
Assault Rifle ★★★★ Not as good as before, but still free and still 1 of the better things you get

AKA ST AR-15, aka Star-chan. High stats, two accessory slots, and Unique Ammo (that you need to farm for) that outperforms regular HV ammo and doesn't require forever to build up. While not considered as OP as she once was, she remains a good unit to raise; if you partially raise her, she basically hits close to RoF cap on her own.

Her mod (and her equipment set) brings her back up to a decent spot as an AR. You can see her mod here

United States Carbine, Caliber 5.56 mm, M4, SOPMOD II

United States Carbine, Caliber 5.56 mm, M4, SOPMOD II
Assault Rifle ★★★★ Usable

If it's not clear by now, AR team is pretty good. has the weakest grenade of the 3 major grenadier ARs (FAL/416/Herself), except she's the best actual AR and will outDPS FAL and 416 in direct fire due to good stats and having the same accessory/stat layout as AR15. Less desirable now that G11 and such are out, but still definitely not terrible as far as grenadiers go. Will not perform to the level of a proper direct fire AR though.

Problem is, grenadiers aren't terribly useful currently outside of some gigabrain ranking echelons. I say that because I'm covering my bases here. Never count grenades out.

You can find her mod here

United States Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16A1

United States Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16A1
Assault Rifle ★★★★ Niche use with special equip

With her special gear, she turns into a hilarious tank with 20 armor and 90 evade (more evade when oathed) which, while not ideal for most things, has its uses. Her stun grenade can also be handy. Not really used anymore, but hey if you find yourself back in 2017 farming, she's great.

Not, however, a DPS, unlike virtually all other ARs.

Tavor TAR-21

Tavor TAR-21
Assault Rifle ★★★★ Usable if desperate

She's one of the dolls of all time. Yup.

KBP 9A-91

KBP 9A-91
Assault Rifle ★★★★ Usable early

The Night Princess. If you need a Night Battle AR, and don't want to pay for a mod, she's the 2nd best girl behind Groza. Unlike Groza, you can actually build her. Her unique equip makes her even sillier, but she's excellent even without it… at night. At day, she only barely keeps up with FNC or F2000.

Type 56-1

Type 56-1
Assault Rifle ★★★★ Core fodder (Until you mod her)

Grenadiers in this game suffer from being garbage unless they bring something special to the table. 416 has damage, SOPMOD has being a good AR, Zas has raw speed and area, and FAL has a triple blast. This pile of junk is a bad AK copy with a too-slow to do anything grenade. Her mod gives her actual consideration, but baseline is still cores.

Heckler & Koch XM8

Heckler & Koch XM8
Assault Rifle ★★★★ Core fodder

Like her real life counterpoint, ultimately disappointment despite being not quite entirely worse than many competitors.

She's not the worst grenadier out there, but in the end, both 416 and SOPMOD are better than her, and you don't need more than a few grenadiers. She DOES have a mod now. Shame that outside of a few very niche scenarios, the above statement still applies.

FN Herstal FAL

FN Herstal FAL
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Ex-Grenade Star. Not used anymore

The Right Arm of the Free World

There was a time she was good. That time was before we got grenadiers that shot as fast as she does. She does fire three grenades though, although they are weaker than everyone else's. Has the odd use here and there, but time and powercreep have not been kind to her.

Heckler & Koch G41

Heckler & Koch G41
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Good if you have her special equipment

Kind of fetishized and sort of jailbait, but she's still a very solid option if you have her special equipment. Outside of that, she's pretty mid. She used to be the standard ARs were judged by, but now she's pretty irrelevant.

QBZ Type 95

QBZ Type 95
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Not really used anymore

Kishiyo face, and a silly source of drama, because he had a bitchfest over her VA not being someone super famous. As of GFL2, this continues to be true! She caused even more drama!

As a T-Doll? She's...not really that good anymore.

QBZ Type 97

QBZ Type 97
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Not really used anymore

Civilian version of a gun even the Chinese Army realized was a bad idea. Used to have a niche use for battles that needed fast skills due to her low initial cooldown, excellent uptime, and unique equip, putting her in a good spot as a second-string AR. Unfortunately, there are now lots of good ARs, and the existence of chips has improved a lot of other ARs while she got left behind.
