I thought the enire point of an assault rifle was that it was a nice balance between all of those factors, lacking the power and accuracy of a rifle, but with a greater rate of fire and ammo capacity, though not as much as that of an SMG or LMG.
In general I prefer power and accuracy above all else in my weapons and so usually lean towards bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles, so I suppose I would go for assault rifles with similar characteristics. Rate of Fire is not really that important if your gun is powerful enough to kill in a couple of shots, and accurate enough to ensure that those couple of shots hit.

Loved the old plasma rifle from halo 1, accurate, powerful and and had a real thump and impact when it hit. Sexiest weapon i ever kicked ass with
Gods handgun, havent heard that one before lol. Was ridiculous for a pistol though, outclassed most of the other weaponsHG131 said:
I put a good optical sight as in most games the weapons are already super accurate, the limitation on getting headshots is actually aiming at them in which case a good reflex sight or equivalent is vital.
it's not on there but the recoil should also be low, the point in an assault rifle is you can shoot rapidly or even short burst of full auto with your aim remaining mostly on target.
Another component is it should in some capacity be useful as a stand in for a submachine gun, that is you can quickly spray from the hip at close range with reasonable accuracy and rate of fire and magazine capacity to boot. That ability is, to me, is what separates an assault rifle from a "battle rifle" like the Garand.

I prefer bolt action rifles to be honest, due to the fact that I can headshot about 80% of the time. But if I must use an assault rifle I pick the SCAR Assault Rifle from Crysis. It had power, accuracy, all the mods I could dream of, and an ability most guns in most games lack. The ability to change firing modes. I almost always keep it in single shot, firstly because SCAR ammo is rare, and secondly because at that point it just acts like a close range sniper rifle, if I can't get any distance on the opponent.
