The AK-47 is an assault rifle in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Description

The AK-47 fires powerful rounds and is the most powerful assault rifle available in the GTA III Era games. The AK-47, however, has a slow 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 AK-47 does not appear in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, being replaced by the Ruger.

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 2 headshot kill on both single player and multiplayer. It is the starting weapon when the weapons are set to assault rifles. This can NOT be fired from a car. While this gun is good, the M4 is better in terms of accuracy and rate of fire.

Strangely, this weapon shares ammunition with the AR-15 in all GTA Games as walking up to one will give you ammunition for your AK47. The AR-15 fires the 5.56 while the AK47 fires the bigger 7.62; despite the inaccuracy it is probably to even out gameplay.

Variations

  • GTA III (2001): The GTA III version of the weapon is mostly accurate, but appears smaller than it should be. It is an AK47 WASR, as it has the iron handle.
  • GTA San Andreas (1992): The GTA San Andreas version of the weapon is a Norinco Type 56. It is often used in Gang Warfare. The model is very low detail and, strangely enough, is significantly larger than it should be, being two-thirds as long as Carl Johnson is tall.
  • GTA Liberty City Stories (1998): This rendition is exactly the same as the Vice City Stories rendition with no actual differences.
  • GTA Vice City Stories (1984): The Vice City Stories rendition is accurate, both by size and look.
  • GTA IV (2008): The version ingame is the AK-47. Its size is accurate, as is the magazine size and overall performance. The AK-47 is quite powerful, yet it is not as accurate as the M4 Carbine.
  • GTA Chinatown Wars (2009): The Chinatown Wars variant is hard to tell who or what manufactured the AK-47, though it most likely a AK-47 WAS-R 10. When you find one in a dustbin, you will see that the gas tube on the weapon has been removed, though the HUD image clearly shows that the gas tube is on. The weapon itself is overall powerful and has good accuracy, however the AR-15 betters it in both ways.

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.
  • Trenton, Portland Island - On top of Liberty Pharmaceuticals (behind the large sign) near an adrenaline icon, a health icon, and a body armor icon. Jump from the elevated tracks near the northeast side of the large complex to access.
  • Fort Staunton, Staunton Island - Tucked beside a construction trailer underneath some ruins north of the sharp angled turn in the northeast part of the construction zone.
  • Newport, Staunton Island - Available to buy from Ammu-Nation after completion of Last Requests ($3,000).
  • Bedford Point, Staunton Island - At the southeast side of the building southeast of Liberty Cathedral (and next to a body armor icon).
