How AK-47 and Tear Gas 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 canister that releases a cloud of CS gas, making enemies cough and slowly take damage — limited utility but funny for staged shootouts. Hard to find legitimately; appears at LSPD lockers and via the "WEAPON3" cheat.
