How AK-47 and Combat Shotgun stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The classic Kalashnikov — hard-hitting and ammo-efficient, the rifle of choice for full-scale gang wars. Stocked at Ammu-Nation from San Fierro onward, with Hitman skill unlocking move-and-shoot.

A semi-automatic SPAS-12-style shotgun with a much faster cycle than the pump variant — drops gang members and SWAT alike in one or two hits at close range. Sold in Las Venturas Ammu-Nation.
