The Ammu-Nation Challenge[1] is a side-mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description[]
The goal of the challenge is to score more points than the opponents during three consecutive rounds of four different weapons: Pistol, Micro SMG, Shotgun and Assault Rifle, in that order. Completing the third round of the the AK-47 challenge – only available after unlocking full access of the San Andreas map in the mission Yay Ka-Boom-Boom – is a requirement for the 100% completion of the game.
All three rounds of each weapon follow the same layout:
- Round 1: Three targets are dropped in the first round of each weapon competition. After destroying one, the next one drops at a greater distance. To destroy a target, the player must shoot the center of the seven different red circles on it. A hit anywhere outside the circles doesn't count. To pass this round, the player must destroy their three targets before the competitors destroy theirs.
- Round 2: A target drops and moves steadily from the back of the range toward the player, then stops until all seven sections on the target are shot. Once the target is destroyed, another follows the same route, and so on. To pass this round, the player must destroy their three targets before the competitors destroy theirs.
- Round 3: In the final round, there's only one target that moves across the targeting range. All competitors shoot the target simultaneously. The first to score 20 points wins. Points are indicated on the right side of the screen. A point is earned for each piece of the target removed. Targets continuously drop at varying distances and strafe across the range until someone reaches 20 points.

Rewards[]
The reward for completing all rounds of the Ammu-Nation Challenge in a row is $10,000, a one-time increase of weapon skill level by 200 for each weapon (50 for the first and second rounds of each weapon + 100 for the final round of each weapon), and a boost for further weapon skill increase efficiency. Additionally, the skill points for the Pistol are set to 1000 upon completing the challenge, thus unlocking its Hitman skill level. [2]
Oversights[]
Ammunition Duping Exploit[]
If the player enters the shooting range while having certain weapons in their inventory and leaves without finishing the course, the ammunition for that weapon doubles. The glitch can be repeated infinitely, potentially serving as a way to get "infinite" ammunition before reaching 100% completion. The affected weapons are:
- Handguns: Silenced 9mm, Desert Eagle (only happens after the AK-47 Challenge becomes available)
- Shotguns: Sawed-off Shotgun, Combat Shotgun
- SMGs: Tec-9, SMG
- Assault Rifles: M4
It is important to note that other weapon classes are not affected. Also, if the player enters the range with the standard Shotgun, they will lose it and all shells in the inventory.
