How AK-47 and M16 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.

The hard-hitting Kalashnikov — heavy damage and a wide spread, the rifle of choice for full-scale shootouts. Stocked at Ammu-Nation once Claude reaches the Staunton Island bridge.

GTA III's top-tier assault rifle — fully auto, laser-accurate, and devastating into the endgame. Sold only at the Shoreside Vale Ammu-Nation and dropped by Cartel enforcers in the final missions.
