How AK-47 and Pistol 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.

Claude's starter sidearm — a 9mm semi-automatic with a tight crosshair and decent reload. Sold at every Liberty City Ammu-Nation from the opening missions and a fixture of Portland street fights.
