Weapons in GTA V

The following is a list of weapons featured in Grand Theft Auto V. GTA V is the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series to feature Weapon Stats. These stats are represented by a 1-10 scale, with five boxes representing 20% of a certain stat. In addition, Ammu-Nation has returned in the game along with a firing range that is accessible. GTA V also introduces the feature of installing attachments onto certain weapons, which adds a whole new variety to the weapon system.

Weapon Stats and Selection
As seen in this picture to the right taken from the 3:14 mark of the gameplay video, the way the player changes weapons is switched. A new feature known as the Weapon Wheel has been implemented. Now, there are 8 slots to choose from (in clockwise order from the top): the Pistol slot, the MG slot (including SMGs), the Assault Rifles slot, the Sniper Rifle slot, the Melee slot, the Shotgun slot, the Heavy Weapons slot, and the Throwable Weapons slot.

In this new screen, stats of the weapon are displayed to the player; these have been confirmed to be customizable through Ammu-Nation. The stats shown in the selection screen include Damage (which would be how much damage the bullets do), Fire Rate (how fast the weapon would be able to fire rounds), Accuracy (how on-target or not the weapon is), and Range (how far the round can go and do damage). Furthermore, all weapons can now be carried simultaneously similar to Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3, which means players can have more than one weapon in the same slot.

Weapon's Noise
Every time the player fires a gun, the radar will show a red circle to represent the weapon's noise, similar to Manhunt. If any threat is within the red circle, they will be alerted by the player, and if a cop is within the noise range, the player may gain a wanted level. A player can lower the noise by adding a Suppressor to the weapon, howewer the firepower is decreased.

Fist
The Fist has appeared in all Grand Theft Auto games; it mainly represents the unarmed state of the player.

Baseball Bat
The Baseball Bat has returned in GTA V. It is found in the back rooms of stores, but cannot be bought from Ammu-Nation.

Pistol
The Pistol is a weapon in GTA V. It is based of the Taurus PT92. Strangely, in game, the Pistol is listed as a .45 ACP pistol, with the PT92 in reality, a 9x19mm Parabellum pistol. The Pistol is a very well rounded weapon, with well-rounded stats of damage, accuracy, and range. It can also be looted from most dead Police Officers, and certain gangsters.

Combat Pistol
The Combat Pistol is a weapon in GTA V. It is based of the Heckler &amp; Koch P2000 and the Beretta Px4 Storm. Like the Pistol, the Combat Pistol is listed as a .45 ACP pistol, with its real-life comparisons in 9x19mm Parabellum, .40 S&amp;W, .357 SIG, and .45 ACP. Its advantages over the Pistol are that it is more accurate, does slightly more damage, and has slightly further range. However, it is $250 more expensive, has the same magazine capacity, has lower damage than the AP Pistol, and fires at the same RPM as the Pistol.
 * Unlocked After: Dead Man Walking
 * Cost: $600

AP Pistol
The AP Pistol is a fully automatic pistol in GTA V. It functions much like the Automatic 9mm from The Lost and Damned. Its real-life comparsion is the OTs-33 Pernach and the Colt SCAMP. Compared to the Combat Pistol and Pistol, the AP Pistol has superior damage and rate of fire. However, it is still inferior to the SNS Pistol in terms of damage, and accuracy is between that of the Combat Pistol, and Pistol.

 * Damage: 2.8/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 8.0/10.0

Stun Gun
The Stun Gun is a semi-lethal weapon in GTA V. Good for incapacitating people, the Stun Gun is far from deadly. However, the Stun Gun can be used to kill people if they are zapped multiple times. It is quite cheap, and is good for making a quick get-away from a situation. In addition, the Stun Gun produces little sound, so it can be as stealthy as a silenced gun. This is the only weapon can be unlocked from 2 different missions. The Stun Gun in-game mainly resembles the Taser M26 with slight overall feel to the Taser X26.
 * Unlocked After: The Civil Border Patrol (S&amp;F) or Monkey Business (Main Story)
 * Cost: $100

 * Unlocked After: Franklin and Lamar (if the Collector's Edition DLC is installed)
 * Cost: Free
 * Magazine size: 9 rounds (12 with Extended Clip)
 * Rate of fire: 140 RPM

SNS Pistol
The SNS Pistol is a small handgun which was introduced in the free Beach Bum DLC. It appears to be based of the AMT Backup, with some elements from the Colt Junior 25. WIth the exact fire rate and accuracy than the Pistol, the only advantages of the SNS Pistol is that it is free, and has the highest damage of all pistols. The SNS Pistol also loses out at long range and has no upgrades other than an extended magazine.
 * Unlocked After: Franklin and Lamar (If the Beach Bum DLC is installed)
 * Cost: Free
 * Damage: 3.2/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 4.0/10.0

 * Magazine size: 18 rounds (36 with Extended Clip)

Micro SMG
The Micro SMG is a Submachine Gun in GTA V. Clearly based of the IMI Mini UZI, but features a custom stock. It has a magazine capacity from the .45 ACP variant of the UZI, although it is probably the 9x19mm Parabellum variant. Like the Pistol, the Micro SMG is fairly rounded, stat wise. It is best in close-quarters situations, such as interiors of buildings because of its high rate of fire.
 * Cost: $850
 * Damage: 2.1/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 6.0/10.0
 * Accuracy: 3.0/10.0
 * Range: 2.5/10.0

 * When drive-by shooting: Varies between 450-600 RPM

SMG
The SMG is a Submachine Gun in GTA V. It is based of the Heckler & Koch MP5. Identical to the Assault SMG in stats, the SMG is superior to the Micro SMG, thanks to its higher damage, accuracy, and range. The SMG can be used more more universally than the Micro SMG because of these higher stats.
 * Unlocked After: Franklin and Lamar
 * Cost: $1,300
 * Damage: 2.2/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 5.5/10.0
 * Accuracy: 4.0/10.0

 * Magazine size: 30 rounds (60 with Extended Clip)
 * Rate of fire: 450 RPM

Assault SMG
The Assault SMG makes an appearence as an unlockable weapon for Rockstar Social Club members. It appears to be based on a Magpul PDR, with the correct magazine, but lacking the picatinny rail. It also appears to take elements from the FN P90. The only advantage to the Assault SMG is that it is free (offline only) when the player links his or her Rockstar Social Club account to the game. Like the SMG, the Assault SMG can be used for medium-long, to close quarters situations.
 * Unlocked After: Franklin and Lamar (if Rockstar Social Club Account is linked) Level 29(Online)
 * Cost: Free
 * Damage: 2.2/10.0

Gusenberg Sweeper
The Gusenberg Sweeper is a weapon featured in the Valentine's Day Massacre Special content pack. It is based off of the M1928A1 Thompson while the stock is derived from the later M1 Thompson. It is fitted with a drum magazine, but incorrectly holds 30 rounds. If extended magazines are chosen, it will hold the correct 50 rounds.
 * Unlocked After: Franklin and Lamar (if the Valentine's Day Massacre Special DLC is installed)
 * Cost: Free
 * Damage: 5.0/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 9.0/10.0

 * Range: 4.7/10.0
 * Magazine size: 30 rounds (50 with Extended Clip)
 * Rate of fire: 600 RPM

Pump Shotgun
The Pump Shotgun is a weapon in GTA V. It appears to be based off of a Mossberg 590 fitted with a custom stock. Perfect for close-quarters combat, and with destructive damage at close range, the Pump Shotgun lacks long-range capabilities. However, it has much better accuracy and range compared to the Sawed-Off Shotgun.
 * Unlocked After: Repossession(Single Player) Level 17(Online)
 * Cost: $2,000
 * Magazine size: 8 shells
 * Damage: 6.7/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 2.0/10.0

 * Standard: 70 RPM
 * When blindfiring: Varies between 36-45 RPM, depending on the player's stance

Sawed-Off Shotgun
The Sawed-Off Shotgun is a pump action shotgun in GTA V. It appears to be based on Ithaca 37 and resembles the Pump Shotgun from Grand Theft Auto IV. It is given for free to the player in GTA Online if registered in Social Club. It is the only "two-handed" gun that can be shot from a vehicle, as it is able to be usable in one or both hands. With one of the highest damages of guns in the game, the Sawed-Off Shotgun is perfect at point-blank range, but useless at ranges over about 10-20 feet.
 * Unlocked After: The Long Stretch
 * Cost: $300 / Free (GTA Online)
 * Damage: 9.6/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 2.0/10.0

 * When drive-by shooting: 50 RPM

Assault Shotgun
The Assault Shotgun is a fully-automatic shotgun in GTA V. It appears to be based of the UTAS UTS-15. However, unlike the UTS-15, it is depicted with a box magazine, and stock from the FN SCAR. It also shares elements from the AA-12, because of the fact it is full-auto, shares to same extended magazine, and that it is magazine fed. Having better accuracy and magazine capacity compared to other shotgun, the Assault Shotgun is a very good choice for short-range, and does better than other shotguns at medium range.
 * Unlocked After: Blitz Play(Single Player) Level 37(Online)
 * Cost: $1,500
 * Damage: 7.7/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 5.0/10.0
 * Accuracy: 5.5/10.0
 * Range: 2.0/10.0
 * Magazine size: 8 shells (32 with Extended Clip)
 * Rate of fire: 240 RPM

Bullpup Shotgun
The Bullpup Shotgun is based on the Kel-Tec KSG. It has a 14 round ammunition capacity thanks to its dual-tube internal magazine, a moderate rate of fire, about the same as the Pump-Action Shotgun, and like most shotguns, lethal stopping power at close range. While it doesn't do as much damage as the fully automatic Assault Shotgun, it's still a fairly balanced weapon.
 * Unlocked After: Franklin and Lamar (if the Collector's Edition DLC is installed)
 * Cost: Free
 * Magazine size: 14 shells
 * Rate of fire: 70 RPM

Assault Rifle
The iconic Assault Rifle that appears in GTA V is based on the Kalashnikov 60th Anniversary AK-47 Airsoft rifle with a black Norinco Type 56-2 stock and an AK-74 front sight without the muzzle. The poorest assault rifle stat-wise, the Assault Rifle is cheap for an assault rifle, but lacks the stats from others of its kind.
 * Unlocked After: Franklin and Lamar(Single Player) Level 24(Online)
 * Cost: $1,400
 * Damage: 3.0/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 6.0/10.0

 * Range: 4.5/10.0
 * Magazine size: 30 rounds (60 with Extended Clip)
 * Rate of fire: 360 RPM

Carbine Rifle
The Carbine Rifle is an Assault Rifle in GTA V. It appears to be based on the Heckler &amp; Koch HK416. A step up from the Assault Rifle, the Carbine Rifle is very well-rounded. The only similarities the Carbine Rifle has to the Assault Rifle are they both share the same range, and magazine capacity.
 * Unlocked After: The Jewel Store Job(Single Player) Level 42(Online)
 * Cost: $2,100
 * Damage: 3.2/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 6.5/10.0

 * Rate of fire: 500 RPM

Advanced Rifle
The Advanced Rifle is a bullpup assault rifle in GTA V. This weapon resembles the Tavor TAR-21. Boasting the best damage, and fire rate out of all assault rifles, the only downsides to the Advanced Rifle are that it becomes available  late in the game, and it is less accurate than the Carbine Rifle. However, the Advanced Rifle is still superior to all assault rifles in-game.
 * Unlocked After: The Big Score(Single Player) Level 70(Online)
 * Cost: $3,500
 * Damage: 3.4/10.0

MG
The MG is a Light Machine Gun in GTA V. It appears to be based on the PKM. The regular squared-shaped magazine is replaced by a drum magazine similar to that of the AA-12. The drum magazine, however, has an unrealistic default size of 54 rounds. The magazine size is correctly made to 100 rounds if extended magazines are chosen. Having close to the same stats as the Assault Rifle, the MG is very crude and inferior compared to the higher level Combat MG.
 * Unlocked After: The Paleto Score(Single Player) Level 50(Online)
 * Cost: $3,000
 * Damage: 3.0/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 6.0/10.0

Combat MG
The Combat MG is a light machine gun in GTA V. It boasts the highest ammo capacity per magazine in the game after buying the extended clip, next to the minigun, which the latter holds everything in one magazine without reloading. Like the Advanced MG in the Ballad of Gay Tony, it is based of the FN M249. Superior to the MG, the Combat MG has almost the same stats as the Carbine Rifle, except with lower accuracy, and further range.
 * Unlocked After: Blitz Play(Single Player) Level 80(Online)
 * Cost: $3,700
 * Damage: 3.2/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 6.5/10.0

 * Magazine size: 100 rounds (200 with Extended Clip)
 * Rate of fire: 500 RPM

Sniper Rifle
The Sniper Rifle is a bolt-action sniper rifle in GTA V. It appears to be based of the AW, and performs like the 7.62 x 51mm variant. Despite a slow rate of fire, the Sniper Rifle has high damage, and excellent accuracy relative to other weapons. Used right, the Sniper Rifle can dispatch many enemies, within only 10 rounds.
 * Unlocked After: Nervous Ron(Single Player) Level 21(Online)
 * Cost: $5000
 * Damage: 9.6/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 2.5/10.0

 * Range: 9.5/10.0
 * Magazine size: 10 rounds
 * Rate of fire: 38 RPM

Heavy Sniper
The Heavy Sniper is a semi-automatic sniper rifle in GTA V. Being based on the Barrett M82 sniper rifle, it has an unrealistic 6-round magazine. With the highest range, damage, and accuracy of all firearms, the Heavy Sniper's only downsides are its large price tag, low rate of fire, and a very low magazine capacity.
 * Unlocked After: Three's Company(Single Player) Level 90(Online)
 * Cost: $9,500
 * Damage: 9.9/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 2.0/10.0
 * Accuracy: 9.0/10.0
 * Range: 10.0/10.0
 * Magazine size: 6 rounds
 * Rate of fire: 50 RPM

RPG
The RPG is an explosive weapon in GTA V. Clearly based of the RPG-7, it is good for medium range, making it a great weapon for dispatching cars, helicopters, planes, boats, or large groups of enemies. However, it can only fire one rocket at a time, and is relatively expensive.
 * Unlocked After: Blitz Play(Single Player) Level 100(Online)
 * Cost: $6,500
 * Damage: 10.0/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 0.5/10.0
 * Accuracy: 1.0/10.0
 * Range: 7.0/10.0
 * Magazine size: 1 rocket
 * Rate of fire: 15 RPM

Grenade Launcher
The Grenade Launcher is an explosive weapon in GTA V. Based of the Milkor MGL, it incorrectly holds 10 grenades, instead of 6. With slightly lower damage, range, and a higher price tag, the Grenade Launcher is not as superior to the RPG. However, it can hold 10 grenades at a time unlike the RPG.
 * Unlocked After: Trevor Philips Industries(Single Player) Level 60(Online)
 * Cost: $8,100
 * Damage: 9.5/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 2.0/10.0

 * Range: 5.0/10.0

Minigun
The Minigun is a weapon in GTA V. It is based of the M134 Minigun. The most expensive of the Heavy Weapons, and only bullet based one, the only advantages of the Minigun is its extremely high rate of fire, and magazine capacity. However, the Minigun does not have the explosive, or range capabilities of the RPG. The player will also be slowed down while holding it due to its weight, making them susceptible to damage from enemies.
 * Unlocked After: The Paleto Score(Single Player) Level 120(Online)
 * Cost: $15,000
 * Damage: 3.0/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 10.0/10.0

 * Damage: 9.5/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 1.0/10.0

Grenade
Grenades are thrown weapons in GTA V. A few seconds after they are thrown, they will explode. They can cause death to any enemies caught in the explosion and can cause extreme damage.

 * Damage: 9.5/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 2.0/10.0
 * Accuracy: 1.0/10.0
 * Range: 1.5/10.0

Tear Gas
Tear Gas is a thrown weapon in GTA V. When it is thrown, it will slowly lower the target's health. However, this is unlikely, due to the fact enimies will most likely run away once they see it. Because of this, Tear Gas can be useful for clearing a group of people, or crowded room.
 * Unlocked After: The Jewel Store Job
 * Cost: $150
 * Damage: 1.0/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 2.0/10.0
 * Accuracy: 1.0/10.0

 * Accuracy: 2.0/10.0
 * Range: 0.8/10.0

Parachute
The Parachute is a returning weapon in GTA V. The parachute can be deployed midair, allowing you to glide safely to where ever it is you land (provided your parachute does not get caught and falls off). This is useful when you get stuck on a very tall area, such as skyscrapers.
 * Unlocked After: Minor Turbulence
 * Cost: $100

Jerry Can
Jerry Cans can be used to douse objects in gasoline and shot to ignite it. Because the player can pour a trail of gasoline, the player is less likely to catch fire, as with the case with Molotovs. To an addition, a trail of gasoline will assist the player from getting away from a fatal bast area (if the trail ends under a car).
 * Unlocked After: Crystal Maze
 * Cost: $25
 * Damage: 0.0/10.0
 * Fire Rate: 1.0/10.0
 * Accuracy: 3.0/10.0
 * Range: 0.5/10.0
 * Capacity: 100 fuel units
 * Rate of ignition: 80 RPM

Suppressor
The purpose of a suppressor is to dampen gunshots and hide the flash. It shrinks immensely, even removes the noise circle made when firing the suppressed weapon at the cost of lowered damage and smaller range. The damage/range penalty is differed among different weapons, the greatest suffered being the sniper rifle.

Scope
The Scope is a weapon attachment in GTA V. It grants limited zoom capability to some weapons and improves overall accuracy on others.

Extended Clip
The Extended Clip or Extended Magazine (or mag for short) is a weapon attachment in GTA V. It increases the ammunition capacity of magazine-fed weapons, increasing the amount of bullets able to be fired before having to reload.

Grip
The Grip is a weapon attachment in GTA V. It increases the accuracy of weapons it is attached to and reduces recoil.

Flashlight
The Flashlight is a weapon attachment in GTA V. It projects a beam of light making it easier to see enemies in poorly lit areas, but has a limited range. Others can also become aware of your presence if you have it on while aiming at them, making it a detriment to stealth unless you turn it off ahead of time.

Advanced Scope
The Advanced Scope is a weapon attachment for Sniper Rifles in GTA V. It has a greater zoom range than the standard sniper rifle scope, essentially maxing it out and giving a higher accuracy boost than the normal scope. It can also work as a thermal scope during certain missions in the game.
