How AK-47 and Thermal Goggles 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.

Heat-vision goggles that highlight humans and warm vehicles as bright signatures — perfect for tracking enemies through smoke or buildings. Awarded during the Las Venturas casino-prep arc and stocked at Ammu-Nation afterward.
