Weapons in GTA Online

The following is a list of weapons that can be used in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Contents
Grand Theft Auto Online features 95 separate weapons.
 * 56 of these were added as part of a DLC.
 * 32 of these are exclusive to the enhanced version of the game (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC).
 * 55 of these are completely new.
 * 12 are "Mark II" variations and upgradable from their base versions.

Unlike other installments where a single weapon of each class can be carried at once, players are able to carry all weapons at the same time, selecting melee weapons and firearms at their disposal. Firearms now feature a wide array of Attachments for customization, which increases the general performance of them (i.e. scopes for better zoom and accuracy). Even if there is no ammo for a firearm, they are still kept for later when the player replenishes ammo, which restores each weapon's magazine and the rest for the class in general (say, if the player spends all ammo on a single handgun like the Pistol, other handguns will still have their own rounds loaded into the magazine, so the player can switch to them as last resource).

The following table lists weapons based on how the Weapon Wheel assigns them.

Others
These weapons are not available for use in the game, but are often depicted in several ways, often in in-game media. Unlike in-game weapons, most of them are exact representations of their real-life counterparts.


 * Artworks
 * An artwork of the Bullpup Rifle released during the run-up to the High Life Update suggests that it was originally going to be modeled after the, featuring the same receiver, handguard, charging handle and carrying handle.


 * In-game
 * There are some in-game appearances of a customized with a vertical fore-grip and a telescopic sight, but it cannot be used. It is seen in the Ammu-Nation commercial and in Righteous Slaughter 7.
 * In the aforementioned RS7, a is used in tandem with twin syringes.
 * In a billboard advertisement and movie posters of Die Already 4, the character is seen wielding a.
 * Various NPCs such as Gruppe Sechs guards, LSPD officers or Merryweather operatives are seen with differently-modelled pistols on their holsters. Though hard to see, it is assumed to be a Glock pistol, with the large rear sights similar to that of a.
 * The two revolvers seen in the main logo of Patriot Beer are, handguns featured in .
 * In the TV show The Underbelly Of Paradise, several weapons are depicted in the illegal weapon trafficking. The handguns depicted in the same screen appears to be a (with no clear sights of a hammer) and an unknown Glock pistol.
 * In the movie trailer The Simian, a chimpanzee is seen holding the cut Heavy Rifle.
 * In the animated show Gordon Moorehead Rides Again, Gordon, Molly and the Redwood Cigarettes Indian make their way to the movie studio where Gordon asks the security guard (who is a Nazi) where the manager is. This character is seen wielding a, a submachine gun developed in.
 * Inside the Ammu-Nation stores, it is possible to see various boxes of 7.62mm ammunition, with a silhouette of an AK-47.
 * In the same case above, it is possible to see the Grand Theft Auto IV iteration of the Rocket Launcher.
 * One of the column shifter levers available as a customization on Benny's Original Motor Works, "Grenade", resembles a, a -era fragmentation grenade.
 * The unused roof-mounted machine gun in the Rhino Tank is based on a . This model of gun was later introduced in the Heists Update, as a fully-functional turret gun for the Insurgent Pick-Up.
 * The wreck of the T-34 tank found in Rogers Salvage and Scrap is fitted with its hull-mounted, which is usually missing on museum tanks or those featured in video games. Although not fully revealed due to being in the tank's hull, it is the secondary armament for the real-life.
 * The USS Luxington ATT-16 aircraft carrier is depicted with emplacements and missile launchers (possibly  launchers).


 * Other
 * In one of the screenshots prior to the release of Grand Theft Auto V, the Advanced Rifle was more correctly modeled after a CTAR-21, but was possibly changed due to possible copyright issues.
 * The Carbine Rifle was originally made with a different handguard to fit a Rail Cover, but the attachment was discarded and the handguard was slightly changed to extend the attachment rails.
 * Two of the column shifter levers available as a customization on Benny's Original Motor Works use pieces to resemble firearms parts. The first one, "6 Shooter", is a loaded 6-round cylinder of a revolver, and the second one, "Pistola (pistol)", uses a classic wooden pistol grip.


 * Unusable
 * Loudhailer: The Loudhailer is described as a white hand-held electric megaphone (albeit with a plain silver tint and no accessories attached). Although it is unobtainable, its textures and model can be found in the games files.
 * Fire Extinguisher: The Fire Extinguisher is a tool that is seen used by firefighters, but are unusable by the player. Despite this, it has its own data and can be assigned to the player's inventory via trainers, but its only purpose is to set fires off, as it is harmless against targets.

Trivia

 * Due to overused sound effects, most fully-automatic weapons are implied to be firing noticeably faster than their actual rate of fire.
 * The MG, however, is implied to fire slower.
 * Handguns in GTA Online are the only weapon class in which reloading differs when the magazine is empty or not.
 * Weapon attachments unlock as you increase your rank. For example, the player unlocks the Advanced Rifle at Rank 70 and the Extended Clip for the Advanced Rifle at Rank 71.
 * DLC weapons are located next to the original ones, listed in the appearances order (i.e., the Gusenberg Sweeper will be before the Bullpup Rifle). However, the Sawed-off Shotgun can be placed here first if the Assault SMG is available.
 * Sometimes, guns dropped on the ground by NPCs will randomly discharge.
 * As demonstrated on the gameplay video, weapon system on the enhanced edition of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online now introduces the ability to throw grenades while holding a weapon. It is done by either pressing Left on the D-pad, or by swiping the Dualshock 4 touchpad upwards. On the PC version, it can be done by pressing "G" whilst aiming. It is available in both first and third person modes.
