Depending on a nation's firearm laws, rifles were typically common and available for private purchase, and though most were made for (and often intentionally limited to) recreational purposes, various military/law enforcement designs can also be found scattered throughout the wasteland. For survivors needing to slay the hordes at a long distance, obtaining one of these long guns can be a great boon to one's post-apocalyptic arsenal.
Recons specialize in long rifles. Many long rifles suffer a "Minimum Effective Range", which decreases accuracy by 50% when a target is too close to the wielder.[1]
