The Smash Rifle is a semi-accurate and balanced weapon and has an effectiveness considered to rival the Semi-Rifle. It boasts the largest magazine of any rifle and has a tight spread, making it surprisingly effective at longer ranges.
Supports lots of ammo and close range attacks. Efficient for medium range attacks due to lots of ammo and powerful impact. Also can melee attack close enemies.

Tips
If you smash players into a wall, you will deal bonus damage to your targets and leave them open longer. While they are grounded, you can then open fire on their prone body. This is effective, but the amount of time it takes to swing and miss is not efficient for the damage it does.
Smash rifle's normal damage is considered as sub-par in game, but with 50 shots and fast shooting speed, as well as criticals taking away 1/3 of an opponents HP, Smash Rifle makes a formidable weapon.
The Smash Rifle's random spread is in a T formation; one shot landing in the middle, with the other three being located above the horizontal line. Aim lower than usual to compensate for this.
This weapon is quite useful at all ranges, possessing a small spread along with a melee function.
Make use of the melee attack when charged by players wielding melee weapons. However, the Smash Rifle's melee has a shorter range and less damage than true melee weapons. Exercise caution.
There is a brief windup before the melee attack is used. It is possible to ambush enemy players by hiding around a corner and timing your melee to smash them into a wall, catching them off guard.
It is possible to counter a melee weapon after dodging a heavy attack, (e.g. Plasma Sword's dash and heavy strike combo, the Spy Dagger's right click stab, the Counter Sword's uppercut). Avoid the heavy attack, then dash in a counter with your own melee.
The melee is to be used as a last resort when an enemy player draws too close; do not attempt to kill a player with only melee strikes. It's main purpose is to knock away a meleer, nothing else.
This weapon can be quite useful in sets that do not possess a melee weapon.
