The SLR is a 7.62 mm battle rifle used by both North African CSAT forces and the SFIA, as well as with Tura tribesmen in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Western Sahara Creator DLC.

Overview

This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.

The SLR is a selective-fire rifle that is chambered for the 7.62×51 mm NATO cartridge.

It can load either 20-round box magazines or 30-round double-stack magazines. It has a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s, and can attain a fire rate of approximately ~ 705 rounds per minute on semi-auto or up to 700 RPM on full auto.

All SLRs feature a rail mount that can be fitted with optical sights. Their muzzles also allow for a 7.62 mm sound suppressor to be attached.

However, the availability of accessories other than optics and suppressors depends on the type of furniture used. The default all-Black and Jungle camouflage variants do not allow for external bipods or flashlights to be attached as they utilise integral folding bipods. Variants with wooden or Desert camouflage furniture specifically allow for a (non-IR) flashlight to be strapped onto the barrel with tape, but otherwise do not have a folding bipod affixed, nor do they allow for external bipods.

Games

The SLR GL is simply an SLR rifle that has been fitted with a rifle grenade adapter.

The adapter allows for a myriad of rifle grenades to be loaded and fired, ranging from 40 mm high-explosive (HE), 50 mm white smoke or 58 mm anti-tank (AT) rifle grenade rounds.

It is slightly less accurate when compared to baseline SLR and also has a lower fire rate of only 650 RPM on full auto (semi remains unchanged at ~ 705 RPM). It can still be fitted with optical sights but is unable to mount suppressors due to the grenade adapter obstructing the muzzle.

As with the baseline rifle, only all-black SLRs have an integral folding bipod, while SLRs with wooden furniture allow for a flashlight to be strapped onto the barrel.

SLR Para

«

The paratrooper version of the Belgian SLR battle rifle comes with a folding-stock, shorter barrel, and an aluminum-alloy lower receiver. It weighs less and is easier to handle than its bigger brother, but in return, loses some of its range and accuracy. Field Manual

Games

The SLR Para is a paratrooper variant used exclusively by CTRG operatives deployed to Argana.

It features a shorter-length barrel and folding stock, as well as additional side and underbarrel rail mounts for attaching flashlights/laser pointers and bipods.

The SLR Para's shorter barrel and replacement of its fixed stock grants it a 22% weight reduction as well as a slightly reduced inertia penalty. Due to its compact size, the SLR Para can also fit inside a backpack that has enough space to store it. However, this compact configuration also comes at the cost of accuracy as the Para now has 20% increased dispersion over the baseline SLR rifle.

Ironsights

• Ironsights (SLR)
• Ironsights (SLR GL)
• Ironsights (SLR Para)
• Sights (Muzzle GL)

The ironsights on the SLR (regardless of furniture) can be zeroed starting at a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600). By default, they are set to a zeroing of 200 metres. Neither the front nor rear sights are illuminated.

If an optical sight that allows for zeroing beyond 600 metres is attached onto the top rail (e.g. LRPS), the SLR will permit an absolute maximum zeroing of 1,200 metres.

The ironsights on the SLR GL (irrespective of its furniture) can be zeroed starting at a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600). By default, they are set to a zeroing of 200 metres. Neither the front nor rear sights are illuminated.

If an optical sight that allows for zeroing beyond 600 metres is attached onto the top rail (e.g. LRPS), the SLR GL will permit an absolute maximum zeroing of 1,150 metres.

The SLR Para's ironsights allow for manual zeroing, starting from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600). By default, it utilises a zeroing of 200 metres. Neither the front nor rear sights are illuminated.

If an optical sight that allows for zeroing beyond 600 metres is attached onto the top rail (e.g. LRPS), the SLR Para allows for an absolute maximum zeroing of 1,000 metres.

The rifle grenade adapter on the SLR can be manually zeroed between three range settings: 40 metres, 60 metres, and 80 metres. The sights are not illuminated.

Camouflage

1/8

• Black: All-black colour scheme.
• Desert: Two-tone arid camouflage scheme.
• Wood: Black parts with wooden furniture.
• Jungle: Three-tone jungle camouflage scheme.
• Snake: Snakeskin-themed spraypaint camouflage pattern.

Caveats apply to the following schemes:

• The Black and Jungle schemes do not allow for flashlights to be "attached" to the weapon.
• The Desert and Jungle schemes are not available to the GL variant.
• SLR models that utilise the Desert/Wood scheme are slightly heavier than their Black/Jungle counterparts.
• Para variants of the SLR only have access to Black and Snake camouflage schemes.

Ammunition

Base damage value	11.6	11.6
Aerodynamic friction	-0.001	-0.001
Muzzle velocity (m/s)	850	850

Deflection angle (degrees)	15°	15°

SLRs are capable of feeding from two families of magazines with a capacity of either twenty or thirty rounds:

• Eight variants of the 20-rounder magazines are available. They are are split across three main types: one type only has ball ammunition loaded and no tracers, the second type uses a mix of ball and tracer ammunition, while the third type is loaded exclusively with tracers. All 20-round magazines have Black, Desert and Snakeskin camouflage options.
• Eight variants of the 30-round magazines are also available. These magazines are similarly split across three main types: some with only ball ammo, others that use a mix of ball and tracers, and some that are exclusively loaded with tracers. Camouflage options for the 30-rounder magazines range from Black, Desert and Tan.

It should be noted that these magazines are only interchangeable with all variants of the SLR. They are not compatible with other 7.62 mm-chambered battle rifles.

For SLRs fitted with a rifle grenade adapter, they can load explosive, anti-vehicle and less-than-lethal (LTL) smoke grenades. Additionally, these rifle grenades can also be loaded onto IED UAVs as airdroppable munitions:

Trivia

• Western Sahara's SLR is directly based on the Belgian-made "FAL" rifle.
• When the Creator DLC is loaded, the SLR and its variants will automatically replace the default loadout of North African CSAT forces (who normally use the Apex expansion's CAR-95 bullpup and its derivatives).
  • However, North African forces in Tac-Ops' Stepping Stone mini-campaign remain unaffected and will continue to use their default gear.
• Prior to Update 1.02, the 58 mm AT rifle grenade could only pierce 6 millimetres of armour plating. This was later rectified by the patch which gave the grenade a submunition capable of penetrating up to ~ 200 mm.
• The Jungle camouflage scheme was not added until the release of Update 1.1.
• The Para variant and 20-/30-rounder magazines with Snakeskin camouflage were added after the release of Update 1.1.3.
  • The patch also tweaked the firing sound effects for all variants of the SLR.
• When it was originally added, the SLR Para could not be stored within a backpack as it was still classified as a long rifle. Update 1.1.4 specifically removed this restriction from the SLR Para (the baseline SLR rifle remains unchanged).
• Update 1.1.4 fixed a bug that could occur with the SLR GL that allowed the user to fire rifle grenades even without a magazine loaded.
