The '''AK-47''' is an [[Assault Rifle|assault rifle]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], and [[Grand Theft Auto V]].

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 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 AK-47 does not appear in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], being replaced by the [[Ruger]]. However its model and texture are still in the game files.

However its model and texture are still in the game files. Additionally, on the [[iOS]] and [[Android]] versions of the game, a blue-and-pink version of the AK-47's GTA III weapon icon appears in the HUD data files, internally named "hud_ak47".
 
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, 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 better. While the AK-47 has better power, the M4 has better accuracy, and it's rate of fire is slightly better; the AK-47 is in "poor weapons" range while the M4 is in the "advanced" range. The extra firepower is not a large amount in comparison to the M4 and is not needed much as a single headshot from any weapon will kill any enemy in GTA IV, and since the M4 has higher accuracy, it is better if the player aims for the head.


Strangely, starting with GTA San Andreas, this weapon shares ammunition with the AR-15 as walking up to one gives the player ammunition for the AK-47. The AR-15 fires the 5.56x45mm round while the AK47 fires the bigger 7.62x39mm round; despite the inaccuracy it is probably to even out gameplay. In real life, a [[wp:AK-101|5.56x45mm-compatible AK rifle]] exists; however, it has plastic furniture rather than wooden furniture and is not compatible with [[wp:STANAG magazine|STANAG magazines]].

===Variations===
Strangely, starting with GTA San Andreas, this weapon shares ammunition with the M16 as walking up to one gives the player ammunition for the AK-47. The M16 fires the 5.56x45mm round while the AK47 fires the bigger 7.62x39mm round; despite the inaccuracy it is probably to even out gameplay. In real life, a [[:wp:AK-101|5.56x45mm-compatible AK rifle]] exists; however, it has plastic furniture rather than wooden furniture and is not compatible with [[:wp:STANAG magazine|STANAG magazines]].
*  '''GTA III '''([[2001]]): The GTA III version of the weapon is a Romanian made WASR-10 and is mostly accurate, but appears smaller than it should be. It's magazine also resembles that of an AK-74, Rather than an AK-47.
*'''GTA San Andreas''' ([[1992]]): The GTA San Andreas version of the weapon is a Chinese made Norinco Type 56, identified by its oval front sight. It also appears to have the three-vented handguard of the Serbian made Zastava M70, and an early slab sided magazine, lacking the grooves on either side. It is often used in [[Gang Warfare]]. The model is of 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]]): The ''Liberty City Stories'' rendition is accurate both by size and look.
*'''GTA Vice City Stories''' ([[1984]]): Exactly the same as the ''Liberty City Stories'' rendition with no actual differences.
*'''GTA IV''' ([[2008]]): The version in-game is the Type III 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 appears to be another Romanian WASR-10, 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 an original Type III AK-47.
*'''GTA V''': Resembles a Kbs wz. Beryl Commando, a Polish variant of the AK-47. It has been modified with a suppressor.

* '''GTA V''': Resembles a Norinco Type 56-2 with a TAPCO Intrafuse handguard. Weapon mods include an extended magazine (increasing ammunition capacity to 60 rounds), an angled foregrip (Magpul AFG2) that gives added stability and a slight increase in accuracy, a flashlight, a scope (Aimpoint Micro T1), a suppressor that silences the weapon but slightly reduces its damage and range, and various color tints.

Toni Cipriani wielding an AK-47 in GTA Liberty City Stories.

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

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 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 AK-47 does not appear in GTA Vice City, being replaced by the Ruger. However its model and texture are still in the game files. Additionally, on the iOS and Android versions of the game, a blue-and-pink version of the AK-47's GTA III weapon icon appears in the HUD data files, internally named "hud_ak47".

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, 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 better. While the AK-47 has better power, the M4 has better accuracy, and its rate of fire is slightly better; the AK-47 is in "poor weapons" range while the M4 is in the "advanced" range. The extra firepower is not a large amount in comparison to the M4 and is not needed much as a single headshot from any weapon will kill any enemy in GTA IV; since the M4 is more accurate, it is better if the player aims for the head.

Strangely, starting with GTA San Andreas, this weapon shares ammunition with the M16 as walking up to one gives the player ammunition for the AK-47. The M16 fires the 5.56x45mm round while the AK47 fires the bigger 7.62x39mm round; despite the inaccuracy it is probably to even out gameplay. In real life, a 5.56x45mm-compatible AK rifle exists; however, it has plastic furniture rather than wooden furniture and is not compatible with STANAG magazines.

Variations

  • GTA III (2001): The GTA III version of the weapon is a Romanian made WASR-2 and is mostly accurate, but appears smaller than it should be. It's magazine also resembles that of an AK-74, Rather than an AK-47.
  • GTA San Andreas (1992): The GTA San Andreas version of the weapon is a Chinese made Norinco Type 56, identified by its hooded front sight. It also appears to have the three-vented handguard of the Serbian made Zastava M70, and an early slab sided magazine. It is often used in gang warfare. The model is of 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): The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition is accurate both by size and look.
  • GTA Vice City Stories (1984): Exactly the same as the GTA Liberty City Stories rendition with no actual differences.
  • GTA IV (2008): The version in-game is the Type III AK-47 with what appears to be a Polytech AK-47-style pistol grip. 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 GTA Chinatown Wars variant appears to be the same AK-47 seen in Grand Theft Auto IV. The HUD icon shows this.
  • GTA V: Resembles a Norinco Type 56-2 with a TAPCO Intrafuse handguard. Weapon mods include an extended magazine (increasing ammunition capacity to 60 rounds), an angled foregrip (Magpul AFG2) that gives added stability and a slight increase in accuracy, a flashlight, a scope (Aimpoint Micro T1), a suppressor that silences the weapon but slightly reduces its damage and range, and various color tints.
