How AK-47 and 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 pump-action 12 gauge — the workhorse close-range gun of San Andreas. Earn Hitman shotgun skill to walk-and-shoot, then chain shells through pedestrian crowds with no reload lag.
