How AK-47 and SMG 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.
An MP5-style submachine gun with tight aim assist — accurate enough to mid-range engagements and a backbone of the mid-game arsenal. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation once you reach San Fierro.
