Assault Rifle

#### Weapon Description

The Assault Rifle is an automatic firearm inspired by the legendary AK-47. In GTA 6, it is one of the primary weapons for both protagonists and antagonists. The rifle boasts high power, reliability, and widespread availability, making it an essential tool in the criminal underworld of Vice City and Leonida State. Manufactured by Shrewsbury (a fictional company), according to leaks, it can be customized with various attachments and camouflages. The design combines classic AK-47 features with modern elements like Picatinny rails and telescopic stocks. In the Grand Theft Auto universe, this weapon is often associated with street gangs and mercenaries. Rumors suggest multiple variants including compact versions and underbarrel grenade launchers.

#### Real-Life Prototype

The real-life prototype is the Kalashnikov AK-47, designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1947. Known for simplicity, reliability, and global proliferation (over 100 million units produced), its in-game representation stays true to the iconic wooden furniture and pistol grip, while also incorporating modern upgrades seen in AK-74 or AK-12 variants.

#### Gameplay Properties

The Assault Rifle has balanced characteristics. Based on leaks and trailer analysis, it deals high damage (around 30 health points per shot), has a moderate rate of fire (approximately 600 rounds per minute), and controllable recoil. The standard magazine holds 30 rounds, extendable to 50 or 60 with drum magazines. Effective at close to medium range (up to 50 meters), it is suitable for both single shots and bursts. The equipment system is expected to be inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2: players can carry a limited number of large weapons (presumably two) and one or two pistols. A weapon degradation mechanic may also be introduced: prolonged use may reduce accuracy and fire rate, requiring repairs at gun shops.

#### Modifications

The rifle supports a wide range of modifications available at Ammu-Nation or found during missions. Available modifications include:

  • Sights: red dot, 4x scope, holographic sight.

  • Grips: vertical grip for recoil reduction, angled grip for improved reload.

  • Magazines: standard (30 rounds), extended (50 rounds), drum (60 rounds).

  • Muzzle devices: suppressor, compensator, flash hider.

  • Paint and camouflage: dozens of options from military to neon.

  • Barrel: long barrel for accuracy, short barrel for stealth.

    • A detailed list will be updated as official information emerges.

    #### How to Obtain

    Currently, the exact method of obtaining the Assault Rifle in GTA 6 has not been revealed. Likely, as in previous series entries, it can be purchased from Ammu-Nation (a chain of gun stores in Vice City). It may also drop from defeated enemies, especially gang members or military personnel. Some missions may reward it or require its use. Trailers show characters using this rifle during shootouts. Details will emerge closer to the game's release, scheduled for fall 2025.

    #### Trivia

  • In the 2022 leaks, the assault rifle was listed as the AK-47 but was later renamed to avoid legal issues.
  • Community speculation suggests an upgraded version with an ACOG scope and laser sight.
  • In Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA 6 Online), it is expected to become one of the most popular weapons, similar to its predecessor in GTA V.
