The M1A Rifle is a two-handed semi-automatic rifle that fires 7.62x51mm rounds. It trains the Aiming skill. It feeds from a 20 round M1A Magazine.
It pairs a large magazine with strong damage and a long reach. That makes it far better against groups than bolt action rifles such as the MSR700 and MSR788. It suits a shooter with some skill, and Aiming 5 or more is recommended. The M1A Rifle is a rare find, mostly inside rifle cases. The Police Officer is the best occupation for firearms. It starts with the most Aiming skill. The Veteran also starts with some Aiming skill.
Combat
The M1A Rifle reaches 40 tiles. Each hit deals between 1.2 and 2 damage. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit deals four times the damage.
Each shot strikes a single target. The rifle fires as fast as the trigger is pulled, so it can drop several zombies in quick order. Its hit chance is excellent and it jams rarely. When it does jam, racking it clears the jam.
The Aiming skill raises its accuracy and crit chance as it levels. The M1A excels at thinning small packs from range before they close in. Against the M16 Assault Rifle, it hits harder and reaches further but holds fewer rounds.
Uses
The M1A Rifle attaches to the back slot, which cuts its carried weight. With a screwdriver it accepts attachments through the Upgrade option. A x2 Scope or a x4 Scope extends its firing range. A Laser Sight raises its hit chance by 5. A Recoil Pad shortens the delay between shots and adds a little weight. A Red Dot Sight speeds up aiming.
Repair
The M1A Rifle has 10 condition. Each shot has a 1 in 200 chance of taking a point off. The Aiming and Maintenance skills lower that chance further. A second M1A Rifle can repair it at Aiming 5. Each repair restores less condition than the one before.
Locations
The M1A Rifle is a rare find. It spawns inside rifle cases, which hold one fairly often when they appear. Gun caches can hold one in a gun box or duffel bag, but the odds are very low.

Notes
- Aiming 5 or more makes the rifle far more effective.
- A Recoil Pad helps it fire follow-up shots faster.
- Keep spare M1A Magazines loaded, since gun caches hold magazines more often than rifles.
- A jammed rifle is cleared by racking it.
