How AK-47 and Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher 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 lock-on FIM-Stinger-style launcher that auto-tracks helicopters and jets — the answer to police choppers and the Hydra. Unlocked at Las Venturas Ammu-Nation and found at Area 69.
