How AK-47 and Pistol 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.
CJ's first proper sidearm — a 9mm semi-automatic pistol sold at every Ammu-Nation from the start of the game. Hit Hitman pistol skill and CJ dual-wields a pair for double the fire rate.
