How AK-47 and Katana 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 curved Japanese sword that decapitates pedestrians in a single swing, returning from GTA Vice City. Most reliably looted from Da Nang Boys during the San Fierro storyline, or bought once the Las Venturas Ammu-Nation stocks it.
