'''Division 9 Plasmaprojector'''

Specials: Burst

While only 66% Assault Rifle and 33% Ranged Energy, this is generally the weapon of choice for froob Assault Rifle soldiers. Has a fast Burst cycle, but Burst is the only special. Comes in QL 1-200.

'''(Superior) (Rebuilt) Perennium Blaster'''
+
Specials: Burst, FullAuto
  
−
Arguable the best assault rifle in game. With a fast Burst cycle and a decent Full Auto cycle, it has great special damage. 1/1 attack/recharge speed, 2000 MBS and great min and max damage make this the weapon of choice for assault rifle soldiers. Comes in QL 50-200. The QL 200 version is Superior. The Rebuilt version requires a Lord of Anger (which drops from The Beast in Pandemonium) and a Perennium Blaster Rebuild Kit. Requires Shadowlands.

| '''Perennium Blaster''' - [[Perennium Weapons|Tradeskill]] - QL 1-200
  
−
If upgraded to Type 13, it gains Fling Shot, Burst, and Full Auto. Comes in QL 1-300. A QL 250+ Type 13 carbine can be Augmented using a Notum Amplification Coil from APF. The downside to this gun is its long Full Auto recharge. Requires Alien Invasion.

Specials: Burst, FullAuto

'''Spastic/Cooperator (Spasmodic/Collaborator) Assault Rifle'''
+
Very popular weapon.
  
−
While the parts for this gun drop in the Shadowlands, no part is nodrop and the finished product does not require Shadowlands. Thus, it is usable by froobs, for whom a QL 200ish version would work well as an endgame weapon. For paying players, there are better choices, as the attack speed of the gun goes up with QL, ending at 6 seconds for a  QL 300.

Requires [[Shadowlands]].

|<aodb>152027</aodb>||  '''Neutrino Flash''' - [[NODROP]] - Drops in [[Steps of Madness]] - QL 50

Considered an excellent starter weapon with its 1s attack speed and damage 50-160 (75) - Radiation AC. You just need help in getting one.

Our new Assault Rifle with Lost Eden. If you can reach the ~2300 Full Auto skill needed to cap the FA recharge at 11 seconds, this is the best Assault Rifle option in the game. The Mk 1 is obtained from Victory Points and the upgrade clumps drop from the bosses of the Alien Mothership missions.

'''Jobe City Guard Personal Pistol/Jobe Portal Guard Personal Pistol'''
+
Hellfurry has a quicker recharge time 1.5s than Hellpsinner 2.5s.
  
−
The only pistol with Full Auto available to Soldiers. It has a very fast Full Auto cycle and 1/1 attack/recharge. MBS is slighly low though. Comes in QL 140-160, and the QL 160 is called Jobe Portal Guard Personal Pistol. Requires Shadowlands.

| '''BBI Gyro Gun''' Rare drop from [[Dyna Boss]] - QL 1 - 200
  
−
If for some reason you decide to use pistols at a low level, this is what you would use alongside a Jobe City/Portal Guard Personal Pistol. It drops from the end boss of Biomare (Foremans). This dungeon is level locked to people 100 or lower. If you above 100, this pistol also drops from Notum Soldier.

Some prefer it over the Hellfury.

Drops from the Crypt of Home. Comes in QL 100 to 105, the 105 having the prefix "Blinded". Froobs can look to dual-wielded Blinded Blackbirds from endgame weapons.

Specials:

: Type 4 Burst

Type 5 is recommended over Type 4.
  
 
Similar to the Energy Pistol, the gain from using SMG instead is because it deals energy damage, just like the Jobe City/Portal Guard Personal Pistol, resulting in more gain from Bracelets of Arul Saba. Also, the SMG Mastery perkline provides devastating specials as well as damage boosts.
