How AK-47 and Sniper Rifle 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 bolt-action scoped sniper rifle that one-shots most enemies with a headshot. Required for the rooftop hits in Staunton Island and stocked at the high-end Ammu-Nation late game.
