Best Assault Rifle per $1,000

5 priced assault rifles ranked by combat score per $1,000 — the guns that give back the most of what every death takes.

How value is computed

Value = Balanced combat score ÷ price per $1,000 (the score model is documented on the tier list: perfect-aim TTK vs armor, reach, handling, weight, price). Free weapons are excluded — dividing by zero would crown every default gun infinitely good; they're listed under the table instead, because free IS the best value when you're broke.

#WeaponScorePriceValue / $1k
1 T-21 70.4 $600 117.4
2 AK74 69.2 $1,600 43.2
3 Galil 66.0 $2,200 30.0
4 M4 67.4 $2,800 24.1
5 FAL 63.3 $6,500 9.7

Excluded from the ranking (free or unpriced — no meaningful per-dollar value): A-91, Bushmaster M17S, KH-2002.
