Assault Rifles

Assault rifles (manufactured by Bandit, Torgue, Jakobs, Dahl and Vladof) offer average stats in all areas, although variance based on Weapon Manufacturers is possibly the largest in the game (i.e. Jakobs guns have high damage, accuracy, recoil, and reload time and low magazine size, whereas Bandit guns have average damage and recoil, high magazine size and reload time, and low accuracy). The best classes for Assault rifles are the Gunzerker and the Commando.
