Trivia

  • The Battle Royale version of the Common, Uncommon, and Rare Burst Assault Rifle uses the same models as the Save The World Semi-Auto Rifle and Lynx.
  • Though officially called the "Burst Assault Rifle", it is commonly called the 'Burst', 'Triple Burst', '3 Burst AR' or 'Burst AR'. The Epic and Legendary versions are also called FAMASes due to the design being based off the real life FAMAS assault rifle.
  • The Common through Rare variants resemble the IMI Galil assault rifle, with a similar stock and wood furniture.
    • Some players refer to it as an AK-47, a similar-looking assault rifle, but the AK, unlike the Galil, was never designed with a burst fire mode.
