5.56 rifle?

[SierraMike]

I have about 8000 caps and i am looking for a good rifle. maybe one that is particularly special?

[Curious Incubus]

The marksman carbine is the most powerful weapon which uses 5.56mm rounds. The unique version can be found in one of the vaults.

The vault that the Boomers came from.

[Vassago Rain]

Vault 34.

[red255]

yeah the very radiated vault 34.

you can also just piss off the legion. and they'll bring you a marksmen rifle every so often. all you gotta do is shoot their assasin carrying it in the head until he dies.

vault 34 looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane. is it possible to get in, loot, and get out alive?

It is probably one of the most difficult areas in the game. Bring piles of RadX and Rad Away. Likely the best loot pile in the game too.

Yup. Dose yourself and rad x and radaway and make the downwards crawl towards the massive reward. If you're idolized with the boomers, the rebreather one of the Boomers gives you is quite handy.

This video shows where to grab several unique Rifles, and it has a part for the 5.56 Rifle everyone's talking about (It's the "All-American")

Though it does not mention the Unique Varmit Rifle that MattMoo talked about (The "Ratslayer")

Also, the video mentions that you sould only go into Vault 34 and level 15+, Though I've done it at 13-

Vault 34 was never difficult for me (and my characters almost always have low endurance, my newest one only with 4.) I just save my RadAway and RadX for it, bring companions, and get my strongest weapon (I usually steal from the Silver Rush for a Plasma Caster/Plasma Rifle). You can't get the All-American without a high lockpick skill, though. 75, I think. That was a huge let down for my fairly low leveled character.

i would go with ratslayer, its an excellent sniper provided you can get criticals (aim for the head.)

be careful with broc flower cave though, the giant rats are rather dangerous for low-leveled characters, a smg and plenty of ammo will do you good, along with a fair few stimpaks.

Or go in with another silenced weapon and either a high Sneak or a couple of Stealth Boys.

that works too, if you have the weathered 10m pistol, you can get a silencer for that.

One thing to keep in mind though is that the marksman carbine requires 100 guns to use effectively.

Or Steady. I've had characters use a Gauss Rifle with about 30 Energy Weapons and popping some Steady was better than having the required skill.
