The AK-47 fires powerful 7.62mm rounds and is the most powerful assault rifle available in the [[3D Universe]] games (except in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] where the M16 is far more destructive). A headshot will behead the target. It does, however, have a low rate of fire, and suffers from tremendous recoil and accuracy problems with long range. It is a common sight in the hands of many [[Gangs|gangs]] on the later missions throughout the games. The AK-47 does not appear in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], being replaced by the [[Ruger]]. However, it is found in the game's files.

In GTA IV, the AK-47 is referenced in-game as the '''Assault Rifle'''. It can be purchased from the back-alley gun shops for [[$]]3,500 and each additional magazine costs $80. It can also be purchased from [[Little Jacob]] for $2,450 with each additional magazine costing $55. Like almost all other guns, this a 1 headshot kill in single player and in [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]], a 2 headshot kill. It is the starting weapon when the weapons are set to assault rifles. This CANNOT be fired from a car, however it can be fired by a passenger in either a helicopter or boat. While the AK-47 is good, the M4 is somewhat balanced out - the AK-47 has greater power but the M4 has greater accuracy. The AK-47 is in 'poor weapons' range while the M4 is in the 'advanced' range. The extra firepower is not much in comparison to the M4 and is not required much since a single headshot from any weapon will kill any enemy in GTA IV (they are easy to pull off) and since the M4 has greater accuracy it is better if the player aims for the head.

In GTA IV, the Assault Rifle is back again. It can be purchased from the back-alley gun shops for [[$]]3,500 and each additional magazine costs $80. It can also be purchased from [[Little Jacob]] for $2,450 with each additional magazine costing $55. Like almost all other guns, this a 1 headshot kill in single player and in [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]], a 2 headshot kill. It is the starting weapon when the weapons are set to assault rifles. This CANNOT be fired from a car, however it can be fired by a passenger in either a helicopter, boat or a passenger that is hanging on the side of the [[Granger]] (except the [[Lifeguard]] variant), the [[Roosevelt]] and the [[Police Riot]]. While the Assault Rifle is good, the M4 is somewhat balanced out - the Assault Rifle has greater power but the M4 has greater accuracy. The Assault Rifle is in 'poor weapons' range while the M4 is in the 'advanced' range.

However, when he crouches, he'll do a longer animation in which he pulls out the magazine, inserts the new one, and then racks the charging handle. It could be an error in the game by the game's developers.

Wikipedia has an article on: AK-47


This standard assault rifle boasts a large capacity magazine and long distance accuracy.
— GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.

The Shrewsbury Assault Rifle is an assault rifle that appeared in every GTA game since Grand Theft Auto III, except in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City where it was cut during the development of the game (and was replaced by the Ruger).

In all of its appearances, it has been based on the AK-47 or a variant of this weapon.

Description

Cheap, dependable Russian import with good range and short reload times... The revolutionary's assault weapon of choice.
— Description in GTA CW.

The Assault Rifle fires powerful 7.62mm rounds and is the most powerful assault rifle available in the 3D Universe games (except in Grand Theft Auto III where the M16 is far more destructive). A headshot will behead the target. It does, however, have a low rate of fire, and suffers from tremendous recoil and accuracy problems with long range. It is a common sight in the hands of many gangs on the later missions throughout the games. The Assault Rifle does not appear in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, being replaced by the Ruger. However, it is found in the game's files.  In GTA IV, the Assault Rifle is back again. It can be purchased from the back-alley gun shops for $3,500 and each additional magazine costs $80. It can also be purchased from Little Jacob for $2,450 with each additional magazine costing $55. Like almost all other guns, this a 1 headshot kill in single player and in multiplayer, a 2 headshot kill. It is the starting weapon when the weapons are set to assault rifles. This CANNOT be fired from a car, however it can be fired by a passenger in either a helicopter, boat or a passenger that is hanging on the side of the Granger (except the Lifeguard variant), the Roosevelt and the Police Riot. While the Assault Rifle is good, the M4 is somewhat balanced out - the Assault Rifle has greater power but the M4 has greater accuracy. The Assault Rifle is in 'poor weapons' range while the M4 is in the 'advanced' range. The extra firepower is not much in comparison to the M4 and is not required much since a single headshot from any weapon will kill any enemy in GTA IV (they are easy to pull off) and since the M4 has greater accuracy it is better if the player aims for the head.

Variations

  • GTA III (2001): The GTA III version of the weapon is the Romanian WASR-2 (note the magazine) and is mostly accurate, but appears smaller than it should be.
  • GTA San Andreas (1992): The GTA San Andreas version of the weapon is a Norinco Type 56, a Chinese clone of the original Assault Rifle. It is often used in Gang Warfare by rival members. The model is significantly larger than it should be, being two-thirds as long as Carl Johnson is tall.
  • GTA Liberty City Stories (1998): The Liberty City Stories rendition is accurate, both by size and look.
  • GTA Vice City Stories (1984): Exactly the same as in Liberty City Stories.
  • GTA IV (2008): The version in-game is an accurate replica of the AK-47. It is accurate in size, look, magazine size and overall performance. The Assault Rifle is more powerful, but not as accurate as the M4. One should note, however, as with the carbine rifle, the rifle has two different reload animations, where Niko will simply pull the charging handle while standing. However, when he crouches, he'll do a longer animation in which he pulls out the magazine, inserts the new one, and then racks the charging handle. It could be an error in the game by the game's developers.
  • A screenshot from The Lost and Damned shows Johnny Klebitz holding an AKMS instead of the Assault Rifle.
    File:Assault-Rifle-weapon-disassembly-GTAV.png

  • GTA Chinatown Wars (2009): The Chinatown Wars variant appears to be another Romanian Assault Rifle WASR, having the plastic pistol grip. The upper handguard of the weapon has been removed, revealing the gas tube. These details are shown when it is found in a Dustbin. The HUD Icon shows a normal Assault Rifle.
  • GTA V (2013): The model of the Assault Rifle in Grand Theft Auto V is a Norinco Type 56-2, a Chinese Kalashnikov clone, with a TAPCO Intrafuse handguard. The iron sights resemble those from the SVT-40. It is superior to all pistols and SMGs. Although powerful, the Carbine Rifle is more accurate and slightly more powerful than the AK.

Locations

GTA III

  • Saint Mark's, Portland Island - In a secluded area behind Cipriani's Ristorante. From Cipriani's Ristorante, use the sidewalk on the south side of the block and head east. Proceed up the hill until you reach a driveway that cuts across the block. Go onto the driveway then turn west. Go to either the north or south of this building and continue west along the ledge. Go around the corner and proceed to the middle of the block. You should see a ramp leading down into the secluded area. The weapon icon is in the corner near the ramp and next to a body armor icon.

Trivia

GTA III

  • Interestingly enough, the GTA III version has a similar sound to the San Andreas' MP5.

GTA Vice City

  • The Assault Rifle was cut from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The weapons model and textures still remains in the game files (ak47.dff and ak47.txd). These files contain the same texture and model as the GTA III variant, and it seems the developers were planning to reuse the GTA III model.
The unused AK-47 as found in the game files. Notice that the weapon uses the same textures from the GTA III.

GTA San Andreas

  • In Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, there is artwork of a Grove Street gang member holding an Assault Rifle over his shoulder, oddly enough, the gun doesn't seem to have a trigger, which would render it useless.
  • The AK-47's weapon skill seems to go up faster than most other weapons in San Andreas.

GTA LCS / VCS

  • When comparing the Ruger in VC to the Assault Rifle in LCS and VCS, one can assume that the Assault Rifle has a faster rate of fire compared to the Ruger. Their damage is identical, however.
  • In GTA LCS and GTA VCS, the Assault Rifle shares the same sound as the Ruger from GTA Vice City.

GTA IV

  • The Assault Rifle in GTA IV strangely has two reload animations. When Niko is standing while reloading, he will cock the gun with his left hand, but when he is crouching while reloading, he will take "out" the magazine, puts "another" one in and cocks the gun. It is unknown why two reloading animations are present. These two reloading animations are also present with the M4 and the Assault Shotgun.
  • In the beta of GTA IV, the Assault Rifle appeared to look different and was similar to GTA V's Assault Rifle and had a different hand guard and a folding stock. It was known as the Zastava M70, a Serbian variant of the Assault Rifle.
  • In the HD Universe, it is called the Assault Rifle, rather than AK-47.

GTA V

  • The stock on GTA V's Assault Rifle is modeled after the Chinese Type 56-2's, the 56-2 is an Assault Rifle variant imported by the U.S. military in small amounts for training.
  • Strangely, in Grand Theft Auto V, the extended magazine for the Assault Rifle is modeled after a 40-round magazine, but contains 60 rounds. This was probably a developer oversight or mere convenience.
