The rundown

Trailer 2 turns up the heat: rifles show up in the heavier shootout and robbery beats, so full-auto firepower is confirmed for Leonida. The exact model isn’t clear from the footage, but the profile lines up with the AK-pattern rifle that has anchored every modern GTA arsenal.

The real-world template needs no introduction. The Kalashnikov family is the most widespread rifle on the planet, a gas-operated design built to keep running through mud, sand and neglect when finer weapons jam. Cheap, brutal and forgiving, it is the gun that turns up wherever a fight does.

Assault rifles have been the mid-game backbone of GTA since the 3D era, the step up that arrives once pistols and SMGs stop cutting it. Treat the specifics, the stats and any attachments as open. What’s certain is that when the small jobs turn into big ones, the crew has more than a pistol to fall back on.
