How AK-47 and Shotgun 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.

A pump-action 12 gauge that dominates close-range gunfights — the workhorse shotgun of Liberty City. Stocked at every Ammu-Nation from mid-Portland onward and a fixture of Mafia missions.
