Characteristics
Overview
The firing mechanism of a rifle. Used in construction of a weapon that can fire 5.56 ammo fully automatic.
Nobody in your group can just make one. A rifle body has no research and no blueprint to learn, so every one in your box came out of a crate, off a dead player or out of a broken rifle. Military and elite crates are where most of them turn up.
That makes each body a decision. You come back from a monument with a single one and two teammates who both want an AK. Into an assault rifle it goes with four springs and a pile of HQM, and you get the gun most groups build the late wipe around. A bolt action rifle takes the same body with three pipes and one spring, cheaper when HQM is short. The HMLMG sits in between and suits whoever holds the compound during a raid. And a minigun you will never use gives two bodies back at the ordinary recycler.
Watch out
Never feed the body itself to the recycler. It returns about 25 scrap and a little HQM, while the same part inside an AK is the hard half of the gun. Recycle a broken AK instead: the ordinary recycler gives its body back half the time, the red one three times in four.
Recycling
At power grid stage 2 a green recycler works at 60% instead of 50%. Yields depend on the recycler.
