Like condoms or hairspray, this fits in your pocket for a night on the town. The price of a bottle at a club, it's half as accurate as a champagne cork, and twice as deadly.
Ammu-Nation and Social Club description.

The Shrewsbury SNS Pistol (short for Saturday Night Special) is a small handgun featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Beach Bum Update.

Design[]

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]

The one and only Saturday Night Special: it may not pack much of a punch, but this discreet little shooter is the consistently voted “most embarrassing way to die”. And in a world this superficial, that has to count for something.
Career Builder description, GTA Online.

The SNS Pistol resembles the Heckler & Koch P7M10, with some design elements from the Colt Junior 25.

It is one of the smallest firearms in the series, with the barrel being as long as the grip and trigger guard. It has wooden details on the grip.

Performance[]

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]

The SNS Pistol is described by Rockstar as a "compact yet deadly" gun. It has an average performance in comparison to other low-grade pistols. It is fairly powerful, but lacks basic accuracy and has very short range, the shortest of all non-shotgun firearms. Due to the very small base capacity of the weapon, a full magazine in the chest may not be enough to kill a player. When fighting an NPC with the SNS Pistol, it usually takes about three body shots to kill.

Overall the SNS is outclassed by every single gun in the game and the only applicable use of it would be to steal another weapon. It can be modded to use an extended magazine, doubling its ammo capacity from 6 to 12 rounds. The weapon model indicates that it is chambered in ".45 ACB".

Trivia[]

General[]

  • The name is an abbreviation for saturday night special, a common slang term for small inexpensive firearms.
  • Humorously, the weapon has multiple different names in international versions of the game:
    • In the Brazilian Portuguese version of the game it is named "Pistola Fajuta", which roughly translates as "Phony gun".
    • In the French version of the game it is named "Pétoire". This translates to "blaster".
    • In Polish version of the game it is named "Pukawka", which means "pop gun".
    • In the Chinese version it is the 劣质手枪 (liè zhì shǒu qiāng), which translates to "low-quality pistol".
    • In the Russian version of the game it is called "Карманный пистолет", which means "Pocket Pistol".
    • In the German version it is called "Billigknarre", this means "cheap gun".
    • In the Spain's Spanish version it is named "Pistola cutre", which translates to "cheap pistol".
    • In the Latinamerica's Spanish version it is called "Pistola SPN", which is an abbreviation of Sábado Por la Noche, a term translating to "Saturday Night".
    • In the Italian version it is called "Pistoletta", which means "small pistol".

Bugs/Glitches[]

Grand Theft Auto V[]

  • Entering the Ammu-Nation, removing the extended magazine, exiting the store, and then entering it again causes the extended magazine to be re-equipped.

Grand Theft Auto Online[]

  • For some reason, the gun may switch to having all accessories equipped and apply the Etched Wood Grip Finish. This appears to happen randomly upon logging into the game, and also applies to the Pistol .50.
