The Assault Rifle is an item in Resident Evil 3. It is the main weapon of Carlos Oliveira and Mikhail Victor during the Raccoon City Destruction Incident. It is identified as an M4A1 Rifle.

The Assault Rifle is a full-automatic weapon with good stopping power and firing rate. Just like the Submachine Gun from Resident Evil 2, the rifle's ammunition is counted as percentage value (each magazine is worth 100%). This weapon is able to switch between full auto and manual mode, which allows the player to fire the weapon in semi-automatic if the weapon is set on MANUAL.

This full-auto weapon is useful for a lot of combat situations, such as stopping running Zombies and battling the fast Hunters. Though weaker than the Magnum, the Assault Rifle is still an excellent weapon for fighting Nemesis.

On the Easy Difficulty setting, Jill can also use this rifle from the start (with three spare magazines). On hard mode, Jill can also obtain this weapon by defeating Nemesis-T Type in his second form near the chapel (that will be seventh fight with Nemesis during the game), if she kills him every time he will appear before in the game. That will work, when game is completing the first time only.
