How AK-47 and Sawn-Off Shotgun 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 cut-down shotgun small enough to dual-wield once CJ reaches Gangster skill — devastating up close, near-useless at range. Often dropped by Ballas and Vagos during gang wars.
