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