How Assault Rifle and Firework Launcher stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto V.

The classic AK-47-style 7.62 rifle — hard-hitting and ammo-efficient, the rifle of choice for full-scale gun battles. Stocked at Ammu-Nation from mid-story onward.

A festive RPG variant that fires colorful pyrotechnic rockets — same damage as the standard launcher with a celebratory visual. Added with the Independence Day update and recurring at every July 4th event.
