Description: Your starting unit, this is the basic rifleman of the Allied divisions. Armed with the M16 assault rifle, a state-of-the-art lightweight weapon, he is capable of accurate and deadly fire. The M16, which only very recently came into service, is the direct competitor to the AK-47 wielded by Soviet Rifle Soldiers, and has two firing modes; primary fire is fully-automatic and alternate fire is a three-round burst. The Rifle Soldier can function in almost every role, however, being well-rounded means he does not excel at anything and is a fairly weak unit.
