Talk: GTA Online: Gunrunning

Weapon

Is this a modified Assault Rifle (with new yet-to-be-revealed weapon customization) or a new weapon?

Shrewsbury assault rifle in the update.

Existing Shrewsbury AK-47.

Mk2 AR from trailer.

On close-up inspection, there are enough similarities to suggest this reveals weapon modification rather than a new weapon. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 05:10, May 26, 2017 (UTC)

Definitely the same Assault Rifle, although differences are evident (different magazine, different stock, different handguard, smaller gas block, extra iron sight on the rear and that piece located right behind the handguard section, that looks like a picatinny rail).

Probably they would change any complex stat if they have any purpose other than aesthetics (probably parameters like stability in "gun & run" and fire rate. Who knows.)-- SWAT Cam F 05:56, May 26, 2017 (UTC)

We should obviously wait until it's released before adding info about it, but yeah I can tell it's the same weapon with heavy modifications like Cam said. The stock is reminiscent of the older prototype of the AK-12, and there is a deeper mag-well that is really weird. I mean, it has a rectangular cutout identical to that of AK milled receivers, directly under (!) the smaller cutout of the weapon's stamped receiver.

Interesting. Maybe that would serve the same purpose as their real-life counterparts (Increasing the reload time because placing the magazine would be easier). And yeah, the cutout may be just a detail on the modification, but comparing that to the cutout of the aforementioned AK milled receivers just made me unable to unsee that XD. -- SWAT Cam F 17:18, May 26, 2017 (UTC)

Added shot of the "MK2" plans to the gallery.

Still unknown if player will be able to carry an Assault Rifle and an Assault Rifle MK2 or whether modified weapons will take up the same slot as the original in the weapon wheel. Looks like we'll be getting the Predator (mission) version of the Thermal Vision Scope. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 22:15, June 7, 2017 (UTC)
