Combat Rifle

"Ah hell. Gonna set some things right with this shit."

- Coach

The Combat Rifle is a second-tier Assault Rifle variant that has a capacity of 60 rounds per magazine. Unlike the other assault rifles, it fires three-round bursts. Unlike burst rifles in most games, holding down the trigger button will continually fire three round bursts, where in most games, you have to continually press the trigger button. Like the other weapons in Left 4 Dead 2, reloading after emptying the magazine requires the Survivor to chamber a round, extending the reload animation.
