How Assault Rifle and Heavy Shotgun 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.
An automatic combat shotgun added with the Heists update — Saiga-12-style mag-fed with high sustained fire and brutal close-range damage. Unlocked via Heist completion.
