Shrewsbury is an American firearm manufacturer in Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto VI. The player can buy stocks of the company at the Bawsaq.com website.
Overview[]
Shrewsbury was founded during the 19th century. It is mentioned in the BAWSAQ website as one of the businesses with stocks available to buy.
Influence[]
Shrewsbury's name alludes to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, which shares its name with the English city of Winchester; Shrewsbury is also a town in England. The company's description on the BAWSAQ confirms this, referencing the company's Model 1873. While Winchester is known mainly for rifle manufacturing, Shrewsbury has a much more diverse product range. The logo is likely derived from that of Browning Arms Company, as both feature the head of a buck. Browning is also known to use the Winchester trademark.

Trivia[]
- Shrewsbury's weapons, for the most part, seem to be designed to be simple and inexpensive, featuring rugged styling, but deal less damage as a result in contrast to Vom Feuer's radical and complex designs.
- According to the BAWSAQ description, Shrewsbury's weapons "won the West" during the 19th century. This echoes the basis of the Winchester rifle, which was used by the United States military between 1866 and the early-1900s and is often referred to as "The Gun that won the West".
- Despite being an American firearms company, most Shrewsbury products are based on foreign designs.
- This is likely a reference to foreign designs manufactured in the U.S. and their popularity amongst gun owners, such as AK-based rifles.
