Becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product in history and earning US $800 million in it’s first day and US $1 billion in it’s first three days, Grand Theft Auto has smashed numerous records. And why wouldn’t it. It’s probably the best open-world, action/adventure game out there and ever since it has been released, it has had us hooked. There is so much work and detailing put into every aspect of the game. Be it the locations, the characters, vehicles or the weapons, the work put into them really sets them apart from other games.
If you look at what Rockstar has done with the weapons in GTA V, it just goes to show why the game is much more engaging and enjoyable. GTA V is the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series to feature Weapon Statistics. These stats are represented by a 1-10 scale, with five boxes showing 20% of a certain stat. Furthermore, another popular feature of the game, Ammu-Nation, has returned in the game along with a firing range where users can practice with their recently purchased guns. Making it even more interesting, GTA V has also introduced the feature of installing attachments onto certain weapons such as scopes and silencers, which adds a whole new range and perspective to the weapon system. Following are all the weapons available in the game before any updates:

Sniper Rifles
Sniper Rifle
The Sniper Rifle in the game is a bolt-action sniper rifle. Despite a slow rate of fire, the Sniper Rifle has high damage, and excellent accuracy relative to other weapons. Used right, the Sniper Rifle can dispatch many enemies, within only 10 rounds.
Heavy Sniper
The Heavy Sniper is a bolt-action sniper rifle in GTA V. With the highest range, damage, and accuracy of all firearms, the Heavy Sniper’s only problems are its large price tag, low rate of fire, and it’s unrealistic 6-round magazine.
Heavy Weapons
RPG
When you want a boom, The RPG is what you go for. An explosive weapon in GTA V, it is good for medium range, making it a great weapon for dispatching cars, helicopters, planes, boats, or large groups of enemies. However, it can only fire one rocket at a time, and is relatively expensive.
Grenade Launcher
The Grenade Launcher is another explosive weapon in the game. Unlike real models of the weapon, it holds 10 grenades, instead of the usual 6. Having a slightly lower damage, range, and a higher price tag, the Grenade Launcher is not as great as the RPG when it comes to fire-power. However, it can hold 10 grenades at a time which gives it the edge above the RPG.
Mini-gun
Probably the biggest baddest thing you can lay your hands on in the game, The Minigun clears a path for you when armies attack. Leave no one standing as you slowly walk along, gun blazing. The biggest advantage of the Minigun is its extremely high rate of fire, and its massive magazine capacity. However, the player will be slowed down while holding it due to its weight, making him susceptible to damage from enemies.
