It looks like there will be many types of weapons to choose from in GTA V. From explosives, melee, submachine guns, assault rifles, pistols, shotguns and sniper rifles to choose from there will be lots of big rampages to start at your will. Here are some of the weapons which have been revealed in trailers and artworks:
Add-Ons
Golf Club?
Might golf clubs, first featured in GTA: Vice City, be making a return as a weapon?
Might a hammer be used as a weapon in GTA V?
Might a Tennis Racket be used as a weapon in GTA V?
A baton commonly used by law enforcement to control individuals if they get out of hand.
A new pistol is coming to GTA V. Looks to be fully automatic. It could be one of the following: Desert Eagle, Glock 20L, HK MK23 or a crossover between some of them.
The Beretta 92FS is a form of semi-automatic pistol.
The Colt M1911 is another form of single fired, semi-automatic pistol.
The Kalashnikov-type rifle shown in the trailer appears to be based heavily on the Norinco Type 56-2, going by the grip placement and the design of the stock. This is probably very arbitrary and only intended to be a 'generic AK' by Rockstar, considering their haphazard weapon designs in the past games.
The Norinco Type 56 is a Chinese clone of the AK-47, and is a lot more common in the US than Russian AK derivatives. (at least it was, before imports of Chinese-manufactured firearms were banned) Due to this they are often seen in Hollywood productions standing in for Russian AKs, which is probably the reason Rockstar ended up using one as their source model.
The Type 56, like its Russian brothers, fires the 7.62x39mm intermediate rifle cartridge, capable of breaching light body armor, and has an effective range of 300 to 400 meters before it becomes too inaccurate to reliably hit a target.
The TAR-21 is a bullpup assault rifle with semi-automatic and fully automatic capabilities.
The short-barreled variant of the classic AR-15. Capable of firing at long range in both semi-automatic and fully automatic.
This gun is essentially a refinement of the Colt M4 carbine with the inclusion of a gas-piston from the Heckler & Koch G36.
The Mini Uzi is a 9mm submachine gun and can fire up to 600 rounds per minute with a maximum effective range of up to 200 metres.
The MP5 is a 9mm submachine gun capable of firing 800 rounds per minute with a maximum effective range of up to 200 metres.
This shotgun is a special, all purpose, pump-action 12 gauge shotgun. Capable of holding 5 rounds.
This sniper rifle is a possible L96 AWP. It's apart of the bolt-action sniper rifle family, and it also has a shorter 24 in (610 mm) barrel in comparison to an AW model. The AWP is normally chambered for 7.62 mm NATO/.308 Winchester or .243 Winchester ammunition though it could be chambered for other cartridges.
In GTA V you now have the ability to pick up a gasoline canister, spread the fuel across the floor, set it alight and BOOM. Feast your eyes on fire!
