RH-Alan RT-20

RH-Alan RT-20
Rifle ★★★ Core

Like the real rifle, more dangerous to its own operator than the enemy.

Rico

Rico
Rifle Special What QBU-88 wishes she were

She has an SVD so she's... EXACTLY NOTHING LIKE SVD. She's closer to QBU-88, having an AoE effect, but she has self-buffs on top of that and, in some situations, can match and exceed such DPS staples as M14 Mod. Honestly if you're coming out of the event with only one of the girls (besides Henrietta who you get just for doing story), then it really should be Rico. Also remember that her tarot cards are used up BEFORE the active part goes off, so you don't get the passive benefit for the nukey bits.

Rifle ★★★★★ Good RoF rifle. Demands more representation for other dolls.

Why does she have Shark teeth? Dammit Imoookoooo

Despite the teeth, she's somehow the nice HK girl. And somehow, she's the smart one. Look, HK is weird ok?

Anyway, she packs as much as 84% damage increase with her skill going at full power, but you're more likely to get a 76% boost in a typical RF/HG formation. Still, she's not bad. In practice she's slightly worse than R93 in most cases, but not usually enough to matter.

Note her buff tiles are funny and affect everything, so this makes her secondary ability a little easier to use. That said, she does NOT give HGs the usual cooldown boost most other RFs do.

SSG 3000

SSG 3000
Rifle ★★★★ It's literally M200 but worse

There's not really much to say about SSG...She's literally a 4 star version of M200. What do you want from me?

The main use she has is for no-dupe players or using her in SC ranking where she has a map bonus.

Rifle ★★★★★ Paratrooper-ready Anti-trash Rifle

With her skill kicking, she deals a fixed amount of bonus damage based on how many enemies show up, and deals bonus damage when she changes targets. The good part is that since it's a fixed amount based on enemy count, the rest of her stats don't matter. Doubly so because it ignores Armor, Evasion, Shields, etc., so she can still be useful while suffering from the stat penalties of using Parachute Fairy.

SVD

SVD
Rifle ★★★★ Usable

Actually good for the same reason WA-2000 and M14 are. Sheer RoF with decent damage. The only 4 star rifle worth using by default who does not require you to jump through hoops to even matter.

Rifle ★★ Enhancement fodder

Or SKS for short. Self-buffs RoF, but with too weak stats. Between G43 and M14 you have enough good low-rarity rifles to keep you supplied while you work on better ones.

Savage Model 99

Savage Model 99
Rifle ★★★★★ Awkward and sometimes self-sabotaging. Very Inconsistent

This doll is EXTREMELY inconsistent due to the way she works. Sometimes she's really powerful, sometimes she sucks. If she kills at least two things, her performance is quite excellent. If she can't, she wallows until she does. If the fight has only one powerful enemy, don't even bother. Her active making her go after the strongest enemies seems good, but in practice it often delays getting her buff, though it can be powerful if you kill things before it triggers. With manual control, this is somewhat less of an issue, but then you can't just AFK with it. She has potential, but goddamn, sometimes it just isn't worth the hassle.

Stella Hoshii

Stella Hoshii
Rifle Special Trash Cleaner

She has very weird mechanics. I want to say something witty but that's really how it works. The most immediately noticeable thing is that her damage is actually cut in half and she fires twice. This seems odd but no, its not just a visual thing either, and both shots actually can end up on different targets. The first shot uses normal RF targeting, while the other has real time targeting to always shoot the farthest target. Vs heavily armoured (enough that AP rounds wont go all the way through) or high HP enemies, this can be bad. Or it can be excellent at trash clear.

Also note that because she shoots twice, it only takes half as many firing cycles as it says on the skill to get stacks, as she gets 2 stacks per cycle (1 per shot). It also has interactions with Sei and Jill that are in the detailed page.

Steyr IWS-2000
Rifle ★★★★★ Usable if you don't mind assembling exodia

Time has not been kind to MADCORE's waifu. Lots of demerits for what was once super high end performance, the proliferation of newer rifles that can handle similar jobs for lower requirements has made her much less appealing than she once was.

Rifle ★★★ Trophy Raifu

Unfortunately for her, M14 exists and fills the same niche, but better and cheaper. And doubly unfortunately for her, M14 also has a mod that keeps her still decent.

Super SASS Mod

Super SASS Mod
Rifle ★★★★ Very Specific Niche Shit

Her mod has changed her up from just a 1-shot-1-kill attempt like the other bamboo rifles and gone to... uhm.. she keeps trying to kill them if she fails. It's sort of funny thinking about it, with her going "WHY WONT YOU DIE, JUST DIE ALREADY" as she keeps unloading into the poor fucker who should have been killed.

It's not especially useful right now, but if there's a situation where you want an actual specific thing killed and need something that will keep targeting that thing, it has some potential use. It's very very niche and she's not an especially big priority right now, though.

Rifle ★★★ I Can't Believe It's Still Cores

Would you believe that, a login reward that's useless? Yep, here we go again. Had some memes on CN/KR because her original release was broken and crashed the game, but we don't even get that, we just get a rifle too bland to write about. M14 still exists.

Type-4 Self-Loading Rifle (4-Shiki)

Type-4 Self-Loading Rifle (4-Shiki)
Rifle ★★★★ Can shoot through enemies so kinda useful

Basically M1 Garand hit by a Japanizing beam courtesy of the IJN (which is why she has a sailor uniform). ...And then it changed her skill to something actually vaguely useful.

Every 3rd shot she fires is a line AoE that doesnt miss, but sadly cant crit. This is actually pretty cool at night vs evasive enemies, like Uhlan formations in a post CT-environment (Uhlan formations start having evade), though actually a bit of a DPS loss on nonevasive enemies.

Not exactly a normal use rifle, but the niche she has comes up fairly often so having 1 on hand is useful.

Type-56 Carbine (SKS)

Type-56 Carbine (SKS)
Rifle ★★★ Currently garbage, way better in future

The Chinese copy of the SKS. Generic 3 star FP rifle that has nothing notable about her besides her somewhat lewd damaged art, and even that's not really much compared to some of the others. She's as boring as she looks, basically.

In a vacuum, she isn't the worst rifle in the game (that "honour" currently belongs to PzB and JS05). But she has less RoF than M14, less Firepower than M14, is harder to acquire than M14, and doesn't have a mod like M14.

...So really, the fact M14 exists basically completely invalidates her existence. MURRICA.

Well, that is for now. Once her mod comes out, there will be reckoning
