How AK-47 and M4 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 laser-accurate 5.56 carbine that out-ranges the AK at the cost of tighter ammo — the late-game assault rifle of choice. Carried by SWAT and Tierra Robada military, and sold at Las Venturas Ammu-Nation.
